Jesus Christ, who makes people whole, is being crucified.

Acts 3:13-16

“The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.” Acts 3:13-16

Peter healed a crippled man [in the name of Jesus Christ] to enable him to walk, as described in Acts 3:1-12. In the verses of this post, Paul explains to the Jewish people that they crucified Him who brought the healing. Today, we know the healing of the born-again experience enables us to walk out of a lifestyle based in the flesh into a life walking in the Spirit with Jesus Christ. In contrast, today’s culture delivers the Gospel of Jesus Christ to death, the same Gospel that has given multitudes the ability to live in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

In today’s culture, which is global, to be born-again means to live for the beast that oppresses the Holy Spirit to give people what to speak, do, think, and feel. That beast crucifies belief in God and crucifies the forgiveness of unbelief through Jesus Christ.

The Apostles of Jesus Christ, and His disciples, always referred to Jesus as being present in the Old Testament. Peter spoke of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob glorifying God’s servant, Jesus Christ, as quoted, “The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go.” Acts 3:13 The same Jesus that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob glorified is the same Jesus that the Jewish people handed over to Pilate to have crucified. Even when Pilate was willing to release Him, the Jewish people demanded that He be crucified, as described in John 19:5-16.

Today’s culture is crucifying the same Jesus today that is spoken about in the Old Testament and who came in the flesh to this world 2000 years ago. The “scarlet cord” is a term that refers to the Old Testament Scriptures pointing to Jesus as the Christ and Son of God in the New Testament of today.

“But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.” Acts 3:14-15

The Jewish people literally asked for a rebel [revolutionary] and a murderer [whose name was Barabbas] to be released instead of Jesus, as quoted, “And they all cried out at once, saying, “Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas”— who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder.” Luke 23:18-19 In today’s atheistic culture, they demand the crucifixion of the testimony of Jesus Christ in exchange for the release of those willing to put to death belief in God, to reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to fight against the presence of the Holy Spirit. Death could not hold Jesus in the grave 2000 years ago, and neither can our Lord Jesus be held in the grave by those of today’s world. Just as God raised Jesus from the grave those many years ago [and the Apostles witnessed] our Lord Jesus is returning as the King of kings and Lord of lords.

“And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.” Acts 3:16

In the name of Jesus, a crippled man was healed to demonstrate that the power of God was alive in the name of Jesus Christ. Today, in the name of Jesus, by faith in His name, people are made strong in the Spirit and to withstand the pitfalls of this world. We realize, that “…we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 We put on the armor of God of His truth, righteousness, peace, faith, Salvation, the sword of the Spirit [the word of God], and prayer in the Spirit.

Faith in Jesus Christ, who gives us the Holy Spirit, makes us whole and sound. This is total opposite of what the beastly entity does to people by giving them what to speak, do, feel, and think. They are not grounded in truth, have a false sense of righteousness [Godliness that denies Jesus Christ], have a lust for conflict and friction, are without faith for eternal life, are without hope for Salvation beyond the grave, they reject the sword of the Holy Spirit, and do not have a prayer within them through the Spirit.
