Senior Pastor of Light the world Church Nansana, Wilson Bugembe has used his Easter message to reveal that there is a lot of evidence to prove that Jesus is first seen in the Old Testament. He notes that the Bible begins with the Genesis, and the whole of it is about Jesus Christ.
This he urges, is enough to reveal Jesus’ love for man, and that He will always frustrate the plans of the wicked once we run to Him for safety.
Even without the New Testament, Bugembe, who doubles as a gospel singer, says believers can witness several glimpses of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament.
His Easter Sermon.
Jesus my City of refuge where the sinners run to and are safe. You can take away the New Testament and I will still show you Jesus.
He has been here before, He is here now and He will be here tomorrow, Forever and ever. He is the Light of the world in Genesis 1!
He is the lamb that died in the place of Isaac Abraham’ son. He is the cross (bronze snake he put on a pole numbers 21:9) that Moses used so that children of Isreal who had snake bites would ran to and were healed from snake poison!
His blood was smeared on the door posts in Egypt and death passed over their houses. He was the 4th man in the furnace with the Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
And the King said, how many did we throw in the fire? Three they replied. How come I see 4 men in the fire and the 4th looks like the son of God. He is the lion that was in Daniel. No wonder the hungry lions din’t even touch him because greater is he that is in you than.
He was with Moses in the burning bush, Moses asked Him, who should I say has sent me, IAM! God replied
Jesus called himself the name of God in the burning bush “IAM!” No other prophet in the bible dared to call himself that name IAM apart from Jesus Christ.
Before Abraham; IAM, Jesus said, and the people asked him, sir, how old are you? (John 8:58)
He is the City of refuge whoever killed a man by accident would run to and was safe! Joshua 20:3.
Read to together with John 8, The woman who was caught in the act of adultery ran to the him and was safe.
Friend, we can go on and on! But two more important things, Jesus said to the woman. Go and sin no more, so that some thing worse than that doesn’t happen to you.
Let’s all ask, what was worse than dying? To me it is the second death, hell! Every time the devil killed someone and whenever he would have his prey, Jesus would interrupt and undo whatever he did.
Remember the people he killed and Jesus raised them again! The blind eyes he opened, Lazarus got back to life after 4 days, The woman with the issue of blood after soo many years of pain, Remember Jairus’ daughter. Or the man he set free with a legion of demons!!!!
How about the thief on the cross! Satan expected two thugs in Hell only one turned up!
Haha, even on the last minute of his breath, He saved a soul. The enemy knew, he had no business if Jesus was Still alive.
It all started in Genesis 3:15, The seed of the woman shall crush your head. He killed many babies trying to find Who would crush him, The times of Moses, The times of Jesus, He could sense Jesus being born but could not know all the details. No wonder he could just kill innocent babies.
Fast forward!! He Finally got him on good Friday. Gave him 39 stripes, Not knowing he was making medicine for cancer, HIV and all diseases. He spit on Him, Crowned Him with a crown of thorns. He hanged him on a tree but his victory was just for a few days.
On the third day, Jesus is alive even up to now. Run to Him for in Him you are safe from the avenger of blood! No body should touch you, No demon in Hell can touch you once you enter in this city of refuge, Jesus Christ.
Finally when He rose, even the tombs of the righteous opened and they came out of their tombs. Oops again Jesus interprated even in the Devil’s own backyard! Note: only the graves of the righteous!
Will your grave open on the day of resurrection?
Nelson Mandela was a great man, They call him the Late, Martin Luther the late, Gaddafi or sadam. It is only Jesus who is not called the late. He is alive even now as I speak. He still interrupts.
Like a man with a duster, He erases every plan of the enemy.
Behold He is standing at the door of your heart knocking, If you open He will come in and save your soul! but if you say No. He will gently walk away but don’t you ever say He never knocked at your heart!
Happy Easter! The bible is the only book you read when it’s author is present!
Every book has a start and an end apart from the bible. It has start(Genesis) and instead of the end, it has Revelation!
