The Jerusalem Road
THE JERUSALEM ROAD
By Henry A. Benach
One of the greatest desires of all Jewish people is to walk up the roads of
Jerusalem. God's greatest desire is that they walk the road that leads to
eternal blessedness. The Bible tells us the direction each one needs to take to
reach their final destination.
God Is Holy
"Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them,
Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy." (Leviticus 19:2)
"And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an
holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your
sins." (Joshua 24:19)
There Is None Without Sin
"They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none
that doeth good, no, not one." (Psalm 14:3)
"Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me."
(The words of King David, Psalm 51:5)
"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not."
(Ecclesiastes 7:20)
"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own
way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." (Isaiah 53:6)
Good Deeds Cannot Purify Us
"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy
rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken
us away." (Isaiah 64:5 in Jewish Bible or 64:6 KJV)
"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the
ways of death." (Proverbs 14:2)
God Requires a Blood Sacrifice
"For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the
altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an
atonement for the soul." (Leviticus 17:11)
Jewish and non-Jewish historians agree that both the Tabernacle and the
genealogical records (whereby we could know who are the sons of Aaron) were
destroyed by Titus in 70 A.D. No longer is there a system of blood sacrifices
whereby the Jewish people can have their sins forgiven. Since we have seen it
is not by good deeds, has God left his precious people with no hope? Of course
not! He has not failed either you or me.
Applying the Blood of the Messiah
You can be forgiven - and know it! How?
The children of Israel applied the blood to their doorposts and lintel to prevent
the death angel from killing their firstborn. (Exodus 12:21-23)
The priest applied the blood to the mercy seat to atone for the sins of the
nation. (Leviticus 16:15-19)
But since the destruction of the Temple and the ending of Temple sacrifices,
God has provided salvation through the blood of Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus
the Messiah) by His sacrifice for you and me. (Hebrews 9:12)
Safety and Refuge Is in God's Messiah
Who is this Messiah? He was -
A. Born of a virgin. "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;
Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel." (Isaiah 7:14)
B. Born in Bethlehem. "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little
among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me
that is to be ruler in Israel; who goings forth have been from old, from
everlasting." (Micah 5:2)
C. Slain for our sins. "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was
bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and
with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have
turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity
of us all." (Isaiah 53:5-6)
D. Resurrected. "For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither with thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." (Psalm 16:10)
Would YOU Accept Yeshua Ha Meshiach into your life now?
"Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring
forth."
(Proverbs 27:1)
Heavenly Father, knowing Thou art holy and that I am a sinner, I now ask
the Almighty God, the Creator of the heavens and of the earth, the one and
only True Messiah of Israel, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come into my heart and
to wash away my sin. I pray this in Messiah's name. Amen.
If YOU prayed this prayer, we would like for you to let us know so we could
send you some additional literature to help you grow in your new life in
Yeshua Ha Meshiach.
