2. A. The number one reason why Jesus Christ
came to the earth was to cut the New Covenant
in His blood, to settle the sin problem, and to
provide deliverance and righteousness for
man. (Matt. 1:21; 2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 9:11-15;
Rom. 3:20-24)

3. B. The shed of the blood of Jesus is the only
remedy for man’s sinful condition and is the
only way remedy that can purge man’s
conscience, remove spiritual death, and impart
God’s righteousness.
1.) According to Leviticus 17:11 the Bible tells
us, “The life is in the blood.” Spiritual life has
been made available for spiritually dead man
through the precious blood of Christ.

4. 2.) The Old Testament system of animal
sacrifices and the shedding of blood could only
atone and cover up man’s sins, but it could not
remove them ( Heb. 10:1-4)

5. 3.) FOUR LIMITATIONS OF THE OLD
COVENANT SYSTEM:
 Under the Old Covenant, man’s sins were
covered (blood atonement), but the sin nature
in man and spiritual death could not be
removed.
 The Old Covenant was unable to change the
satanic nature in man or bring spiritual life to
man’s spirit
 The Old Covenant could not free man from sin
or victory over the power of sin.
 The Old Covenant with the blood of bulls and
goats could not free man from sin
consciousness, guilt, or condemnation.

6. 4.) No one was born again under the Old
Covenant. All men spiritually dead!

7. C. In the New and better Covenant, we don’t
approach God on the basis of the bleeding
animal sacrifice. But through the shed blood of
Jesus, we have the remission our sins.
Remission means:
 To blot out completely as if sin never existed in
our lives.
 To cancel and remove sin from us, leaving us
without sin, without guilt, without
condemnation, and without inferiority. (Heb.
9:24-26).

8. WHAT DID JESUS ACCOMPLISH AT THE
CROSS?
A. At the cross, Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament
prophecies concerning His subtitutionary
death and atonement
(Ps.22; Isa. 53).
1.) Old Testament writers foretold in minute detail
the sufferings of Christ and the manner of His
Death;
 He would be betrayed by a friend (Ps. 41:9;
Matt. 26:15)
 He would be sold for 30 pieces of silver (Zech
11:12; Matt. 26:31)
 He would be forsaken by His disciples (Zech.
13:7; Matt. 6:31).

9.  He would be accused by false witnesses (Ps.
35:11; Matt. 26:59-60)
 He would be spat upon and beaten with many
stripes (Isa. 50:6; 53:5; Matt.27;26; Mark 14;65)
 He would be smitten with a rod (Micah 5:1;
Matt 27:30)
 He would be nailed to a cross (Ps 22:16;
Matt27:35; Luke 23:33)
 He would be mocked while hanging on the
cross (Ps 22:7-8; Matt 27:39-40)
 He would be pierced with a sword (Zech 12:10;
John 19:33-37)

10.  He would be offered vinegar and gall of drink
(Ps 69:21; Matt27:34)
 None of His bones will be broken (Ps 34:20;
John 19:33-37)
 He would be crucified with thieves (Isa 53:9-12;
Matt 27:38; Mark 15:27-28)
 Soldiers would gamble for His garments (Ps
22:18; Matt 27:35)
 He would be buried in a rich man’s tomb (Isa
53:9; Matt 27:57-60)

11. B. At the cross, Jesus accomplished the Defeat
of Satan. The cross cancelled Satan’s legal
claim over the human race (John 12:31-32; Col
2;14-17; Heb 2:14-15)
C. At the cross Jesus cancelled the power of sin.
Sin’s penalty was paid for and sin’s power was
broken eternally (Rom 6:1-23; I Cor 15:54-58)
D. At the cross, Jesus accomplished God’s plan
of salvation, making righteousness available
for mankind (Matt 26:28; Eph 1:7; Col 1:14; Heb
9:12-15,26)
E. At the cross, Jesus purchased bodily healing
for the sick. And afflicted (Isa 53:4-5; Matt
8:17; 1Pet 2:24)

12. F. At the cross, Jesus open the way of personal
access to God for every believer (Matt 27:51;
Eph 2:14-18; Heb 10:19-22)
G. At the cross, Jesus Christ was our
 Sin bearer (Matt 1;21)
 Sickness bearer (Matt 8:17)
 Curse bearer and curse breaker (Gal 3:13)

13. ALL OF THE CURSE (SIN AND EFFECTS OF SIN ) WAS
PLACED ON JESUS SO THAT ALL OF THE BLESSINGS
MIGHT COME ON US!
 Jesus took: Jesusgave us:
 Our sin - Forgiveness and
righteousness
 Our sicknesses - healing
and health
 Our disease - Physical wholeness
and well being
 Our poverty - Prosperity
 Our spiritual death - Eternal life
 Our curse - Abraham’s
Blessings
 Our rejection - Freedom from
rejection
 Our fear and oppression - Peace and sound
mind
(Isa 64:6; Eph 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; Rom 3: 20)
