Summary

That's just, that's just the reverse, that's so often we can be tempted to think that I don't know what I'm doing, but I must be doing something right because, boy, my life seems to be really going good, right? If you ever as a New Year's resolution decide to do a word study and really study and hone in on one word of scripture for a year or for a month, I encourage you to do light because there is a lot on light in God's word for us and a lot of of how Jesus is the light and then he moves us through his Holy Spirit to be light in the world. And we're going to go to verse 31 or began at 31 so if you can see my notes, I have John 6, 31 through 35-ish because there's a lot about Jesus being the bread of life in this chapter and it goes into amazing, amazing teaching on communion but I don't think we're going to go there right now. Jesus Christ laid himself as the sacrificial lamb upon the altar before the Lord, the altar that was the cross of Calvary, where he hung dying for your sins, for my sin to take the stench of our sin, and remove it from us, and instead lay before the altar of the Lord himself, the sacrificial lamb, the aroma that is pleasing to the Lord, to be there eternally in our place, eternally lifting the aroma of sacrifice before the Lord, in his death, Christ conquered death, and in conquering death, he has the eternal victory over sin. And when we know Christ, which I think we all would say we do, when we know Christ, we can turn to His Word, and we can find and mark the benefits, and we know that because we know Christ, we will see Him in His Word. To know His benefits is to know Christ to know that Christ entered into humanity, that Christ entered in living a perfect life, sinless, righteous, to know that Christ suffered death on the cross, taking the iniquity bearing the sin, the transgressions of every single one of us, to know that Christ rose triumphantly from the grave, to know that He walked with these two disciples teaching them, leading them, guiding them, to know that Christ washes us clean in the waters of baptism calling us as His own, to know that Christ feeds us with His own body and blood in the hour sins, the tangible grace of Christ, to know the benefits of Christ is to know Christ for us.
