In Jesus Name: The culmination of the meaning behind what Jesus did for us all.

Matthew 26:46-50 

Get up, let us go. Look, My betrayer is near!” As Jesus was still speaking, Judas [Iscariot], one of the twelve [disciples], came up accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, [who came as representatives] from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him.” Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, “Greetings Rabbi!” And he kissed Him [in a deliberate act of betrayal]. Jesus said to Judas, “Friend, do what you came for.” Then they came and seized Jesus.

Jesus lived a perfect life. What does that mean? It means His integrity was perfect and He lived for the kingdom of God as we all fail to do. He kept the Ten Commandments flawlessly, He would follow the law according to the spirit of the law not the letter of the law because He understood the difference and the importance of the spirit. This means that all He brought into the world was of the kingdom of God and that which made the world more like the kingdom in heaven. God came into the world to teach humanity how to live. To show us what is right, and to pay for the debt we owe for our wickedness. 

Proverbs 10:16 

The wages of the righteous is life, but the wages of the wicked are sin and death.

Jesus was born of a virgin mother conceived by the spirit of God into Mary with her permission as the everlasting word of God made flesh by the command of God the Father. The way I see the trinity of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are 3 persons to one God just like a room has a ceiling, walls, and a floor and couldn't be considered a room if it is missing any of the 3 elements. 

His birth, life, death, and resurrection were prophesied and fulfilled.

Birth: 

Isaiah 7:14 

Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, the young woman who is unmarried and a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel [God with us].

Life: 

Genesis 3:15 

And I will put hostility between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring; he will strike your head, and you will strike his heel."

Death: 

Psalm 22

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? I am the scorn of men and despised by the people. All who see me laugh at me and mock me; They [insultingly] open their lips, they shake their head, saying, “He trusted and committed himself to the LORD, let Him save him. Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”  I am poured out like water, They pierced my hands and my feet. They divide my clothing among them And cast lots for my garment.

Resurrection: 

Psalm 118:17-18 

I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the LORD. The LORD has punished me severely, but he did not give me over to death [or leave me in death].

This is just a handful of prophecies, there are many more but that would be a book all on its own.

By being the only man to ever truly be sinless, He is uniquely in the position as the son of both God and man to pray for and receive what aligns with human will and God's will. None of us can claim the legitimacy He has and so we must pray in His name. Be sure to keep that in mind when you read the following. 

There are spiritual rituals of evil that attempt to summon demonic forces into this world using abuse and murder. There are however spiritual rituals of good too, and unlike the demons, God did his own ritual. God Himself came to this world (Jesus) to sacrifice Himself willingly (as Isaac was willing to do at the behest of his father Abraham) to forgive the sins of humanity since the wages of sin is death. God paid with eternal life, for the finite death we all owe in order to bring what is in the spiritual world of heaven into our world. He resurrected with more than enough life after covering our debt, life in abundance. As we all who reach for him will do in His name, even though we all deserve death. That is why the Passover lamb's blood on the threshold of the door during the Exodus makes so much sense and was so important. 

Genesis 9:4 

But life is in the blood, and you must not eat any meat that still has blood in it. 

(Every Passover was a feast. This is why Jesus broke bread and shared wine at the first communion as the Passover lamb who is the final sacrifice.)

 God didn't look inside the homes to see if those within were worthy of the blood. In this same way, God doesn't look at our sins if we are drenched/cleansed in the blood of the lamb who takes away the sins of the world. God only cares that we genuinely desire to be with him, proclaim Him as Lord, and mean it. That is to be baptized in the spirit by the Holy Spirit. This is a permanent character change that is known as being born again, which causes you to be disgusted, disappointed, or disturbed by your own sin as well as allowing you to see the beauty of life and the people around you.
