That the one who comes will prepare the way for the coming messiah.

Isaiah 53 is a wonderful prophesy about the Messiah. There would be no redemtion without Jesus shedding his blood. we are healed through His stripes. The blood that was shed on calvary's tree is all our hope of having our sins washed...or forgiven. Several instances in the Bible attest to this. In the aerthly sanctuary we had to bring an animal to be killed so our sins would be atoned for. The day Jesus died on the cross those animal sacrifices ended ...in fact He himself declared "It is finishd'! He was the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world" and that sacrifice...His voluntary death on the cross was enough we neded no animal blood.So the curtain dividing the Holy of hte Holies andnn the Holy plcae was rent into two signifying we did not need anybody to talk to Jesus on our behalf..we can go straight to Him in faith and He wil forgive our sins on account of the blood He shed...but we must believe!

From Adam and Eve. When they had sinned and found out theywere naked, they sewed fig leaves and covered hemselves...and hisi from God. Dont we still hide our sins? How long would the fig leaves take before they dried up? they would need more gif leaves!!! So in His love and mercy God covers their nakedness with the skin of an animal? Guess which animal that was? Blood animal was to die andn blood shed in order to get the skin Gd used to make them a more permanent cover. Abraham and His son Isaac...God asks for a sacrifice and Abraham in his unbelievable trust in God sets ona journey with Isaac, lays him on the alter and just before killing Him, a voice reassures Him and shown him a sacrificial animal. Guess what animal it  was. So the animal dies instead of isaac! Amen!!

Many years late Jesus is referred to as "The lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world"  by John th Baptist at the Jordan where he baptized Jesus.

Satan had tried on so many osscasions right from Jesus birth. He knew what Jesus wanted on thisi earth...to redeem his own from  the devil. And the devil knew that Jesus could do this through voluntary death on the cross. So the devil tried to kill Him or cause Him so much pain that would make Jesus sin or tempt Him. But Jesus knew that for Him to redeem man He had to travel that road to Golgotha and lay down His life, therby fulfiling prophecy and redeeming us from the devils grip. No other way except the way of the cross. claimed. for me this is the best thing that ever happened to me! Jesus death on the cross, burial resurrection and the fact that Hes now interceeding for me in front of the father as the devil accusses me every day.
