The Crucified Messiah

Jesus will arrive on the clouds of heaven to gather his saints to his presence, and to judge and punish the wicked . Jesus will arrive “ on the clouds of heaven ,” as promised in the Scriptures. The coming of the Son of Man will result in the completion of the Kingdom of God, the end of death itself, the gathering of the saints to be with Jesus, the arrival of the New Creation, and the final judgment of men and nations.

The covenant with Abraham is fulfilled in Jesus, including the possession of the Earth, the gift of the Spirit, and our Resurrection - Romans 8:1-30. In his Epistle to the Romans , Paul presents Abraham as the great exemplar of faith. God accounted the Patriarch’s faith as righteousness when he was still uncircumcised. This means that he was declared righteous without the deeds and rituals required by the Torah .

Through Jesus, we become heirs of Abraham and the promises, and the gift of the Spirit is the guarantee of our participation in the inheritance . God’s plan of redemption always envisioned something larger than the nation of Israel and the land of Canaan. With the arrival of Christ, “ the seed of Abraham ,” and the outpouring of the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, the fulfillment of the promises began.

A través de Jesús, nos convertimos en herederos de Abraham y de las promesas, y el don del Espíritu es la garantía de nuestra participación en la herencia . El plan de redención de Dios siempre imaginó algo más grande que la nación de Israel y la tierra de Canaán. Con la llegada de Cristo, “ la simiente de Abraham ”, y el derramamiento del Espíritu en el Día de Pentecostés, comenzó el cumplimiento de las promesas.

The Spirit of God and the voice from heaven confirmed the calling and identity of Jesus - Son, Messiah, and Servant – Mark 1:9-11. Jesus first appears in the Gospel of Mark when John baptizes him in the Jordan River. The narrative identifies him with his hometown, Nazareth, a village of no consequence. Jesus is the Son and the Servant of the Lord, and the Messiah who does not conform to popular expectations.
