Text: Matthew 8:1-10, 16-17
Jesus was nailed to a cross, but He lived and still lives! Jesus is the only One who beat death. Death was never the plan of God. When God created everything, He made all things good. Then, sin entered the world. Our “tree of knowledge” is the Bible. It tells us what is right and what is wrong. The real fight going on in this world is between good and evil. Since that day in the garden, the world has rebelled against God. The result of this is death by sin. It’s spiritual. Through Adam’s disobedience, he gave the devil a door to walk through. We need to know how to fight in this warfare. We’re either on the side of God or the enemy’s side. When we get born again, it wipes away our lineage to Adam. That’s the purpose of the cross. Jesus came and cleaned us up and made us right with God. He made us whole! He healed us!
