Good day, this is Michael De Rosa from the Mountainside Community Church in Newport, NH, and my text today is Ephesians 1:9

God did what he had purposed, and made known to us the secret plan he had already decided to complete by means of Christ

God accomplished what He set out to do.  He Always does.  

Christ was the means through which the Father completed his purpose towards us.  All the belligerence of man towards him, his mockings, the betrayals, his pride, his insensitivities and insults Christ   endured   for   us because of His love for us. 

These sins, OUR sins became His sin as they nailed our Lord to the Cross. 

There was no other way for our redemption.  

This is a mystery.  This was and is His plan that stretches through out eternity.  

Friend, do know this?   Do you actually know God’s purpose? 

He paid a debt, He did not owe

We owed a debt we could not pay

Receive this truth today, Friend
