Classic Christianity – Fix Your Eyes Upon Jesus – Part 3 – 11-05-25

Fix Your Eyes Upon Jesus – Part 3 – 11-05-25

~ Anything Not of Faith is Sin
~ Think about Truth today… Do you really want to see Jesus in the flesh someday, and tell him, “sorry I didn’t believe you when you said it was finished?” Do you really want to continue in unbelief today? Do you want to really keep denying that your sins were not really forgiven at the cross? Do you really want to continue calling God a liar? Because that is what most people are doing today. They are believing satan’s lie of ongoing forgiveness, because that is what they are taught by their priest, pastor, and church historians, that they trust in more than the TRUTH of the word of God. They want to feel good in their flesh, and don’t want to rock the boat. It doesn’t get any clearer than this that forgiveness is completed at the cross. What else could the word of God have said, other than God is NO LONGER COUNTING YOUR SINS AGAINST YOU!?

That is the warning for everyone today. Better to figure it out before the end. Better to ask God for wisdom and understanding. Better to apply Faith to the equation. Better to seek out Truth from God instead of the lies of Man and demons.
…..

And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life?”
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good, except God alone. Luke 18:18,19

~ “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:12

~ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing in Me, even if he should die, he will live. And everyone living and believing in Me shall never die, to the age. Do you believe this?” John 11:25,26

Pray to God:

Do you really want to know the WHOLE Truth of what is going on today?

Lord Jesus, teach me the truth of the world today and give me the wisdom to know the truth and identify the lies of the devil. Thank you God.”

~ “Now once again, guys in Luke, turn back with me just a minute to Luke 22, Luke 22 beginning in verse 39. Jesus had just finished the last supper with His disciples, Judas had left to betray him, and now in verse 39 it says, Jesus went out, as usual, to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed Him, and on reaching the place the Mount of Olives, He said to them, pray so that you will not fall into temptation. He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, and he knelt down and prayed, Father, if you’re willing to take this cup from me, if you’re willing take this cup from me, yet it’s not my will, but yours be done. I believe what Jesus was saying there to his Father, his Father, if there is any way for me to save these people, apart from me having to become sin for them, of taking upon myself every lousy, dirty, sinful thought and word that humanity has ever conjured up and take that upon myself and to the point where he who knew no sin became sin. Please, Father, if there’s any other way to do it, do it. And yet it’s not my will. Let’s yours be done. His desire was certainly expressed. I’m not just looking forward to becoming sin, but if that’s the only way that I can save these people, I’m going to do it. Is that something, or is that something guys? think about what Christ was going through before he ever went through what he was going through was the idea that I am going to have to go to a cross and there take upon myself the sins of the entire world. He who knew no sin, take upon himself the sins of the whole world.” ~ Bob George

Welcome to Classic Christianity Radio with Bob George Bob’s clear, timeless teachings on the complete forgiveness and unconditional love of Jesus Christ will transform your life as you learn about God’s amazing grace. Let’s join Bob as he teaches us from God’s Word.

Bob George 0:28
I believe he took away my sins, but I go to the priest to get my sins forgiven. I’m sorry, I’m sorry that Jesus doesn’t exist. He’s not in the Bible. You’ve got your own Jesus. You’ve made up. He’s not there. The Jesus of the Bible is the one who hung on a cross and suffered and died in order to take away your sins from the eyes of God, never, ever, ever, ever, ever to see them again. That is the Jesus you put your faith in, and not only in Him, you put your faith in what he accomplished. He didn’t accomplish partial forgiveness. He accomplished total forgiveness. Do you believe that? Bob, you teach people that people are going to take advantage of that people do. That’s just a license to sinning. In Texas, he’s sinning that’s a license to sinnnn. Oh, really is that a license to sin, to realize that this Jesus loved me so much that he would take away my sins from the eyes of God never see him again in order to come and live inside of me and to restore me to a newness of life that makes me want to go sinnnn. Where’s your head? Man, I’ll tell you what makes you want to go sinnnn is you can go sin, but all you gotta do is just First John, one nine, it then I can go sin again, or I can go sin, but all I gotta do is go my confession booth and I get forgiven and I go sin again. It’s a good deal, because if I can keep all my sins confessed. And then in case I’ve missed some just at night, just say, Lord, in case I missed one, please forgive me. And then hope you don’t have a bad dream, you could at least stay forgiven for a few hours at night. Do you see how ridiculous, folks this is? You see how ridiculous this religious form that we’ve adapted is in comparison to what Jesus came to do, to take away the sins of the entire world.

So he says, fix your eyes on Jesus. The sin that so easily entangles us is taking your eyes off him. Run with perseverance. He never will leave me nor forsake me. Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. He’s the author of it, and he’s the perfecter of it, who for the joy set before Him, endured the cross for the joy set before him. Folks, it’s like having a baby for you, ladies, not us. There’s there’s torture connected with there’s pain connected with it, but for the joy that is set forth before you. You endure that, because of the joy that you’re going to have of having that little one in your arms someday. I always said if we guys had to have babies, you’d only have one. That’d be it. You gals are something else.

Consider him Jesus, who endured such opposition from sinful men. What were they in opposition? What’s the opposition that he endured? The opposition of truth? The very thing he’s talking about, he came and said, no more sacrifice for sins. They said, huh, if there’s no more sacrifice for sins, there’s no need for me. What need is there going to be for me to be a priest? If there’s no more sacrifice for sins, I don’t have anything to do. They were in total opposition to everything he said. Why? Because everything he said was in opposition to their religion, to their religious form. He endured opposition from these sinful men. He said, consider him who endured that opposition so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Don’t lose heart when you come up with opposition to these truths, folks. We’ve been fighting people for 20 some years. I say, fighting people, the seeing the opposition, losing friends, kicked off of more radio stations than we’re on. Why? For teaching this truth? That’s why we’re kicked off teaching this truth. Nothing more, nothing less, teaching that Jesus meant what he said when he said it’s finished, that’s enough to boot him off of here. Boot him off off of Christian stations. I got fired from one of our largest Christian stations for saying that Muslim wasn’t a Christian. I want to tell you something, folks, the Christian world is in very sad shape right now. There is very little truth being taught out there that can be proven out of the Scripture. So consider him who endured such opposition from sinful man, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart in your struggle against sin. What’s the sin he’s talking about? Sin of unbelief, just forgetting to trust Jesus.

Do you realize, guys, that every sin that you and I commit, that the root of it is we just not trust in Jesus? Say, Well, I just went out and got hammered last week. How come? Well, because I wasn’t trusting Jesus. Jesus said, I’ll give you peace, and you were looking for Jack Daniels to do it. Every sin that we commit is that not trust in Christ, looking for somebody, sexual encounter, boos, drugs, to do something for me that only Christ can do. You see people like Anna Nicole, Marilyn Monroe, Jane Mansfield, I could go on and on, of people who have gained the world and lost their soul. That’s why Jesus said, what profits a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul? What profits you? And yet we get enticed by thinking, Oh, this will do it. This will make me happy. This will bring meaning and purpose to life. I was never loved by my Father, so I’ll go find some bunch of guys to love, and Jesus says I’ll love you. Yeah, but I can’t see you. I know that’s what faith is, the substance of things hoped for but not seen. But believe me, I’m here.

In your struggle to you’ve not resisted to the point of shedding your blood, or have you forgotten the word of encouragement that addresses you as sons?

Now once again, guys in Luke, turn back with me just a minute to Luke 22, Luke 22 beginning in verse 39. Jesus had just finished the last supper with His disciples, Judas had left to betray him, and now in verse 39 it says, Jesus went out, as usual, to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed Him, and on reaching the place the Mount of Olives, He said to them, pray so that you will not fall into temptation. He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, and he knelt down and prayed, Father, if you’re willing to take this cup from me, if you’re willing take this cup from me, yet it’s not my will, but yours be done. I believe what Jesus was saying there to his Father, his Father, if there is any way for me to save these people, apart from me having to become sin for them, of taking upon myself every lousy, dirty, sinful thought and word that humanity has ever conjured up and take that upon myself and to the point where he who knew no sin became sin. Please, Father, if there’s any other way to do it, do it. And yet it’s not my will. Let’s yours be done. His desire was certainly expressed. I’m not just looking forward to becoming sin, but if that’s the only way that I can save these people, I’m going to do it. Is that something, or is that something guys? think about what Christ was going through before he ever went through what he was going through was the idea that I am going to have to go to a cross and there take upon myself the sins of the entire world. He who knew no sin, take upon himself the sins of the whole world.

If I were to ask you today, if I put a cross up here on this stage, and I ask you that what I want you to do is just secretly take a piece of paper and write down just one sin that you committed this week and come and nail it on the cross. Or better than that, list, all of them. Can you imagine how many pieces of paper there would be on that cross, and that’s just one day. This is for the entire world that our Lord had to sacrifice himself for you and me. And so he said, if you’re willing, if you’re willing, Lord, to do this, take this cup from me. And yet it’s not my will, but yours be done.

Now, an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened him during that period of grief, and after being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground in so much agony over the fact of dying? No, there are many people who have gone to the electric chair and knew they were going to their death. It certainly didn’t go through those kind of things. His agony wasn’t over the fact he’s going to die. His agony was over the fact he’s going to have to become sin. I remember very early in my Christian experience as a brand new Christian, I was teaching Sunday school and a little church that we were in some bunch of kids, and the question came up about it. Didn’t understand sweating great drops of blood. And I remember saying to this one little teenage girl. I said, let me give you an illustration of that. I said, Do you believe that, do you believe that if, if you went out and and sinned and and so forth and so on, that you would sweat great drops of blood over this type of thing? Don’t think so. I said, let me ask you this, if you had to go out into a field tomorrow, and I told you, you’re going to have to go out into a field and be molested by 100 guys. What do you think you’d do? She said, I’d be sweating great drops of blood. Said exactly, and that’s exactly what happened to Jesus. He went out and was literally molested by all of us, all of our sins piled together upon him, and like I say, there, he knew no sin became sin for you and me, so that we could become the righteousness of God in him.

Bob George 13:29
In your struggle against sin, you’ve not resisted to the point of shedding your blood, and have you forgotten the word of encouragement that addresses you as sons. Do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and don’t lose heart when he rebukes you, because our Lord disciplines those he loves. I’m going to stop right there. There’s a difference between discipline and punishment. Punishment is retaliation for an act done. Discipline is preparation for the game ahead. If you’ve ever watched the television of the Cowboys or the Mavericks in pre season, what are they doing? What’s the coach doing? Well, he’s disciplining them. Now it might feel like punishment, and I remember in my high school days of playing basketball and the coach running up and down those bleachers, and I thought he was nuts, but what was he doing to me? He was punishing me. Said, No, I’m not punishing you, Bob. I’m preparing you for the game, because you’re going to get in shape. In the army, when I went through basic training, I was never in such good shape in my life when I got out of there, what was it for preparing me in case I ever had to go into battle, wasn’t punishing me, it was disciplining me. So discipline is a marvelous thing. We look at it as something to frown against. No, it’s phenomenal. Discipline. So don’t make light of the Lord’s discipline. In other words, don’t, don’t resist it. Encourage it. Discipline is discipleship. Every time I pick up this Bible, it disciples me. Every time I pick up this Bible, I get discipled by the Lord. Every time I pick up this Bible, the thoughts that have come into my head through the world begin to get diminished by truth. This book is a book to teach us truth, and in so doing, push out the error. It’s wonderful. It’s a fantastic thing to be disciplined and taught by the Lord, so don’t make light of His discipline. Don’t lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and now here’s a good one and punishes everyone he accepts as a son. How many of you believe that’s true?

Is there any punishment for you and me? There’s no condemnation awaiting those who belong to Christ, Jesus. Condemnation is what? Punishment on what the world’s that doing there? Well, let’s go back to what’s the quote out of turn, back to Proverbs that’s in the Old Testament guys, Proverbs three. Y’all got it? Anyone still looking? I’ll wait for you. Anyone forget their Bible? Okay? Proverbs three, they’re beginning in verse 11, My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves as a father, the son he delights in. Now, this is supposed to be a direct quote out of there, so they’re okay. On the first verse, My son don’t despise the Lord’s discipline. My son don’t like light of the Lord’s discipline. That’s all saying, don’t lose heart when he rebukes you. Don’t resent his rebuke because the Lord disciplined those he loves, because the Lord disciplines those he loves. That’s word for word. Well, how did as a father, his son delights in and how did you get up punishing everyone, except as a son? Sounds me like it’s a misquote, doesn’t it?

Well, I began to study that because, number one, when you know something and you read something that’s wrong, you know it’s wrong, and I know there’s no punishment for us in Christ, Jesus. So this got to be wrong, so I began to do a study in Hebrews, in the original language. I don’t understand it, but you can do a study on it. And you found out in the Hebrew language, back when proverbs was written, that word that was used meant to deeply Inquire within. It’s like a father deeply inquiring into his son’s problem. In other words, not a surface treatment. I’m going to get to the root of it. What we were talking about. I go do this. What’s the root of it? Let’s get let’s deeply inquire. What was the root of why you did that? Well, I wasn’t trusting in Jesus, right? Are we together on that? That’s what the word means, deeply Inquire within Well, in about 280 BC, the Septuagint was written. Septuagint is the Greek translation of the Old Testament. Are we all do we all know that? In 280 BC, they translated the Old Testament from Hebrew into Greek. Those old testament Hebrews letters were still there, and copies of them were there by the hundreds. But by then, the Greek language was the predominant language of the land. And not only that, but the HEBREWS were scattered all over the place by then. And so if a HEBREW was scattered to Greece, he was speaking Greek. If he was scattered over here, he’s speaking someplace else, still a HEBREW, but he’s speaking German, or he speak in Hebrew, or speaking French, or whatever else it might be. Are we together on that? So in as much as the Greek language was the universal language of the day that was translated from the Hebrew into Greek.

Now, by then, words start taking on different meaning. Let me give you an example of that. I will give you the word right now, trunk. What do you think of what’d you think of? Elephant trunk. What’d you think of? Elephant trunk. What? Trunk on an automobile. Tree trunk. Yeah, see, it’s all over the place. Remember the songs that you used to sing about when I was happy and gay? I don’t believe I’d want to sing that song today. Our hearts were happy and gay. No, no, I don’t want to sing that. But that was popular. That was the word. Not anymore, words take on different meanings. And so this word of deeply Inquire within began to be perceived. Well, that’d be like a whip with a bone in it. And after a while, that’s exactly what that word became. Was a scourging. Some people translate scourging like a father scourging. Why? That’s the meaning that the meaning of take on that was not the original. So when it’s translated over here in the New Testament, it translated according to the Greek, instead of the Hebrew, and it comes out punishes. Does that diminish translation? No, if you know what the Bible says, it doesn’t bother me at all. You just go correct it. You just realize something has happened there, and go back and correct it. If you know what the Bible says. I know what the Bible says in regard to punishment, there are any punishments? Or how is he going to say punishes? It’s got to be a mistake. And so you check that out. Isn’t that great?

And so the literal translation of that is, my son, don’t make light of the Lord’s discipline. Don’t lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves as a father, the son he delights in. Endure hardship, we’re told, as discipline. In other words, hardship that we go through will discipline us, won’t it? What does hardship if you’re a born again believer, normally do for you? Does what? Drives you to Jesus. Absolutely you’re going through trials and tribulation, and there’s no place else to go. And so you go to Jesus, and it builds character. Says that in the Scripture, I’ve told God many times, I’m as big a character as I need to be. I’ll just… But it’s that’s exactly what it does. And so we say, well, endure that. Don’t look at that as something that’s bad. Let it be a lesson to us. I mean that it forces us, many times to turn our dependency back on Christ. You can’t depend on anything else guys. I remember in the days when you used to be able to depend upon your retirement program. Remember those days? Or is that where all my retirement programs going to take care of me. No businesses get sold, to go out of business, go bankrupt. Can’t depend on that.

We realize, the older you get and the more you experience life, my friends that the only one that we can honestly say that I can depend upon every single moment of the day is Christ, Jesus, the author and perfecter of my faith. Christ, Jesus. And so I can endure hardship as discipline again, repeating what we just said, God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? If a father doesn’t discipline his son or his daughter and teach them truth, it evidently doesn’t love them. You see a lot of people in this day and age, oh, well, don’t discipline. Don’t do this. Just let them all do their thing. And don’t love your kids, because if you love your kids, you’re going to teach them. Well, we’ll close on that and pick up next week, in regard to these passages, I hope this has been helpful to you.

I, like I’ve said before, if I’m going to walk by faith, then I’m not going to walk by faith in me. I’m going to walk by faith in Him, and I’m not going to walk by faith in what I believe or thought that he possibly did. I’m going to walk by faith in what he did, took away my sins. Did I deserve that? Did you deserve that? Did you earn it? What is the only thing that should be our response to this? Lord Jesus, thank You for Your Mercy. I don’t think there’s a day that goes by and I don’t wake up thanking Him for His mercy, His goodness and kindness to me. Didn’t deserve an ounce of it, but he’s good to me, and he’s kind to me, and he’s patient with me, and he loves me totally. And I have to just say to that, thank you, Lord. Let’s pray together.

Father, we thank you so much for what you came to do. You endured the cross. Your heart was hurt because of the fact you were going to have to become sin for us, and yet you are willing to do so. We don’t understand that. How could you love us so much that you are willing to give the most the precious thing you have your life so that we could have life? And yet, that’s what you did. You went to a cross to take away the sins of the entire world so that raised from the dead, you could give life to us, who are born dead. The consequence of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus. So we come to you today thanking You for Your forgiveness and thanking you for your offer of life. And if we’ve never accepted that offer of your resurrected life today, do so, don’t hesitate, just to talk to God out of your heart to be able to say, Lord Jesus, thank you for what you did for me at the cross. I’ll never insult you by asking you to do what you’ve already done, but I’ll spend the rest of my life thanking you, and I thank you that entering into my death with me, that you were raised from the dead so that that life that raised you from the dead can raise me from the dead, because the consequence of sin is death, but the gift of God is life, And I accept you, not only as my Savior, but as my Lord right now, as my life, I accept you. And to as many as received him to them, he gave the right to become a child of God to those of us who are already children of God we praise you for that, and thank you for it. There ain’t anything in the world that we’re able to rejoice about any more than that. And so Father, we thank you from the bottom of our heart for the salvation that you’ve given to us and for the love that was expressed in so doing. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
