The Message of the Cross - Bishop Jimmy Evangelista

Listen Later

In this profound message titled "The Message of the Cross", Bishop Jimmy Evangelista unveils the transformative power that resides in the cross of Jesus Christ. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1:18, he expounds on the seeming foolishness of the cross to the world, yet its immense power for those being saved.

Bishop Evangelista highlights two symbols that define Christianity - the empty cross and the empty tomb. The cross signifies that "It is finished", representing Christ's redemption for our sins through His death. The empty tomb declares His resurrection, conquering death itself.

The heart of the message centers on the power of God available to believers through the cross:

  1. Redemption from Sin (2 Corinthians 5:21) Christ took our sin upon Himself, making us the righteousness of God.
  2. Substitution from the Curse (2 Corinthians 8:9, Deuteronomy 8:18) Jesus bore poverty so we could become rich, giving us the power to obtain wealth and break generational curses.
  3. Eternal Life (Romans 6:23, Luke 10:20) Accepting Christ grants eternal life and assurance of our names written in heaven.
  4. Power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8, Genesis 1:26-28) The Holy Spirit empowers us as witnesses and restores our dominion over creation.
  5. Power of the Tongue (Psalms 103:5, Proverbs 18:21) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, allowing us to speak blessings.
  6. Authority over the Enemy (Luke 10:19, Mark 16:17-18) Believers have power to trample over the enemy, heal the sick, and cast out demons.

    7. Bishop Evangelista proclaims that signs, wonders, and miracles follow the power of God residing in believers through the cross. Join us as we embrace this life-changing truth and experience the fullness of God's power made available through the message of the cross.
