The apostle Paul, in his letter to the Corinthian church, said that he determined to know nothing among them except “Jesus Christ and Him crucified”. In other words, Paul, who wrote two-thirds of the

New Testament, had his mind full of Jesus and His finished work.

Beloved, God wants your mind full of the cross of Jesus. He wants you cross-conscious.

But what does it mean to be cross-conscious?

To be cross-conscious is to see Jesus, who loves you so much that He willingly died for you on the cross. To be cross-conscious is to look to Jesus, who offered His own body to be punished, so that your body can be free from all punishment.

To be cross-conscious is to fix your eyes on Jesus, who has provided for your deliverance and victory at the cross. At the cross, all your enemies were vanquished. All your diseases were destroyed. Your poverty was removed at the cross. Your sins were wiped out at the cross.

When the Israelites tasted bitterness in the waters of Marah, God showed Moses a tree, which he cast into the waters, making them sweet. (Exodus 15:23–25) The tree represents the cross, which turned the bitter waters sweet. Today, Calvary’s tree turns your bitter situations sweet. Because of the cross, you can expect to see the bitter situations in your life made sweet!

When the Israelites were bitten by serpents in the wilderness, God told Moses to put a bronze serpent on a pole. The pole represents the cross and bronze speaks of judgment. Those who beheld the serpent on the pole lived because they saw their problem — the deadly serpent — nailed and put to death on the cross. (Numbers 21:6–9)

Today, you too will not die but live when you see all your sins judged at the cross, and with them, all your sicknesses, diseases, pains, failures and defeats! At the cross, all that is deadly in your life has been removed!

God Wants You Cross-Conscious

1 Corinthians 2:22For I determined not to know anything among you

except Jesus Christ and Him crucifi ed.

GR_vol1iss1.indd 1 5/8/08 10:44:02 AM

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus made

a decision that would forever change His destiny and ours. He chose not to abandon us and return to

heaven, but to remain and be pierced at the cross, so

that He could be with us and serve us forever.

His Word

esus is fully God (John 1:1–3, 14), but He came to earth as Man. The Bible says that “being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross”. (Philippians 2:8, KJV) He left His divine

privileges and powers in heaven, and became Man. This means that, like any other human being, He had sentiments, affections and feelings.

If Jesus had come only as God, then He would not have been able to die on the cross for our sins because God cannot die. But man is mortal. So He came as Man and suffered as Man. The blood, sweat and tears were real. The pain was real. The death was real.

We see His suffering when He prayed so desperately in the Garden of Gethsemane, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” (Luke 22:42) But there is a spiritual suffering here which we sometimes do not see.

The Passion Of The Christ — Why?

GR_vol1iss1.indd 2 5/8/08 10:44:10 AM

... Jesus the perfect Servant did not choose to go out free but stayed on earth because He loved His Father and He loved His bride, the church.

But if the servant says, “I do not want to go out free even though it is my right to do so because I love my master, wife and children,” the master will then bring him to the judges of Israel. The master will take a sharp instrument and pierce the servant’s earlobe. And this will be done at a doorpost. His blood will be shed and some of it will be left on the doorpost too.

From then on, the servant will have a hole in his earlobe and something will be put there to keep the hole open. His pierced ear serves as a sign to others that He is now a slave by choice. He could have gone out free, but he chose to stay because he loves his master, wife and children. And he will be with them forever because “he shall serve him [his master] forever”!

Now, do you think that a Hebrew servant would give up his chance to be free after six years of service? Perhaps, but I do not think that a servant would say “I love my master” first, before expressing his love for his wife and children. Obviously, the Holy Spirit had someone in mind when He mentioned this law in Exodus 21. Who do you think this person is? Jesus, of course! Don’t the Old Testament laws become beautiful when you see Jesus in them?

So at the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus the perfect Servant did not choose to go out free but stayed on earth because He loved His Father and He loved His bride, the church. And because of that, He was later scourged and pierced by a crown of thorns, nails and a Roman soldier’s spear. Today, the only man-made things in heaven are those scars in His hands, side and feet. They will remain forever as a sign of His love for us. And when we see them, we will be reminded of how much He loves us. He did not have to, but He chose to.

Why God Can Smile At You Today

As a Man, Jesus defi nitely felt the physical pain of the scourging, thorns and nails. But His greatest suffering as I mentioned, was separation from His Father.

At the cross, He cried, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46) God turned His back on Him. At the time when He needed His Father the most, His Father had to turn His back on Him. Do you know why? Because if God did not turn His back on Jesus, He would have to turn His back on you! Jesus took your place so that you can take His place, where God’s face is always smiling on you.

Today, we have God’s face smiling on us all the time. The countenance of God is shining on you and your family. That is why I can say to you, “The Lord make His face shine on you.” (Numbers 6:25) Jesus paid the price so that God would always smile on you, and never leave you nor forsake you.

Separation From His Father

There was a spiritual cup offered to Him. And in that cup lay all our sins and curses. All our fi lth was in that cup. And to drink that cup meant that He would be separated from His Father, whom He loves.

Up to that time, Jesus had never been separated from His Father. The reason He could do all kinds of miracles when He walked the earth was that His Father was with Him — “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working… Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.” (John 5:17, 19) Every time He mentioned the Father, He found strength and comfort.

So Jesus was given a choice — to drink the cup of our sins or to go home to heaven. If He rejected the cup, His Father would bring Him home, and the whole world would literally go to hell, because of sin.

But Jesus loved us so much that He stayed. He drank the cup of our sins to the very last dregs. He went all the way for us — all the way to the cross.

A Sign Of Love

There is a very beautiful picture of what Jesus did for us hidden in the law of the Hebrew servant. After God gave Moses the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20, He gave a law concerning servants.

Exodus 21:2–62If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years; and in the seventh he shall go out free and pay nothing. 3If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. 4If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself. 5But if the servant plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’ 6then his master shall bring him to the judges. He shall also bring him to the door, or to the doorpost, and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him forever.

When a Hebrew servant has served his master for six years, he is free to leave in the seventh year. If he is married with children because his master has given him a wife, he cannot bring his wife and children along when he leaves. His wife and children would belong to the master. That was the law then.

God The Father Cried

God turned His back on His Son because He had to punish Him for our sins. He is the judge of the universe. But as Father, I believe He wept. That is why in the movie, The Passion Of The Christ, there is this part where a teardrop falls from heaven — I love that scene!

The Bible itself says that Jesus’ sacrifice was a sweet-smelling aroma to the Father. (Ephesians 5:2) Yes, as God and judge, God had to turn His back on His Son because His eyes are too pure to behold evil and sin. (Habakkuk 1:13) But as Father, His heart was broken because Christ was never more pleasing to Him than at that time. Do you remember what Jesus said? “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.” (John 10:17–18)

Those of you with children love your children all the time. But sometimes, your child will do something special out of love for you, and it touches your heart so much that you want to just hug him.

God felt the same way about His Son when He was on the cross. But He could not embrace His Son even when Jesus cried out to Him. As the Judge of the universe, He had to turn His back and allow His Son to be punished to the full for our sins.

Parents, if your child is suffering, even though he brought it upon himself, it makes you want to cry, doesn’t it? It makes you want to help your child. How much more if your child is innocent! Jesus was innocent. He knew no sin. He did no sin. And in Him was no sin. (2 Corinthians 5:21) Yet, He suffered and died for our sins because He loved His Father and He loved us.

Scourged For Our Wholeness

In the scourging scene in the same movie, Jesus stood up again after the fi rst round of scourging. If you watch the scene, you will feel like saying, “Stay down! Stay down!” Because by standing up, He made the Roman soldiers angrier and they changed their whips to those with hooks to infl ict more pain. According to historical studies of Roman scourgings, these hooks go right into the victim’s fl esh, and rip pieces of fl esh from the body!

And Jesus was probably not scourged 39 times according to the Jewish law of 40 stripes minus one. (Deuteronomy 25:3; 2 Corinthians 11:24) The Roman soldiers who carried out the scourging hated Jews and would not have observed their law.

We do not know how many times Jesus was whipped, but it was enough to expose the bones on His back! In

He took the fullness of the punishment so that you can enjoy the fullness of forgiveness.

Psalm 129:3, it says, “The plowers plowed on my back; they made their furrows long.” In Psalm 22:17, it says, “I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me.” You don’t see that in the movie, so actually, the movie is still not that violent.

The Bible also says that “by His stripes we are healed”. (Isaiah 53:5) Jesus took every one of those painful lashes because He had to pay the full price for our health. By those stripes, your cancer died. By those stripes, your child’s asthma died. By those stripes, we are made whole and strong!

Some people think that God has mood swings. If He is in a good mood today, He will heal you. If He is in a bad mood, He will not heal you. How can you put your faith in a God of moods? No, God is a God of His Word. He will heal you because His Son has paid the price for your healing. And His Son’s work is perfect.

Enjoy The Fullness Of Forgiveness

Jesus the perfect Servant said, “I love My Master. I love My wife. I will not go out free.” That is what He decided in the Garden of Gethsemane. But “I will not go out free” meant that He had to pay the price.

And the full price has been paid. So it is a sin to believe that you still have unforgiven sins. If you believe that, you are saying, “Eh, Jesus, You suffered, yes, but it is not enough. I know You cried ‘It is finished,’ but in my case, it is not really finished.”

I love what my wife told me after she saw the movie and all the suffering that Jesus went through. She said, “How can anyone, after watching the show, say that their sins have not been completely forgiven?”

The greatest insult to Christ is to believe that your sins are still not forgiven. That is why I am a strong preacher of the truth that your entire lifetime of sins has been paid for because that is what His sufferings have accomplished for us. He took the fullness of the punishment so that you can enjoy the fullness of forgiveness. You are forgiven completely of an entire lifetime of sins!

A Man And Our Servant Forever

When Jesus chose not to go out free, but to remain and be pierced at the cross, what did it mean? It meant that Jesus, though fully God, chose to remain a Man and our Servant forever!

That might shock some religious people. But in heaven today, Jesus is forever a Man and forever our Servant. It was His choice. He said one time, “I did not come to be

GR_vol1iss1.indd 4 5/8/08 10:44:14 AM

This article is excerpted from the message, The Passion Of The Christ — Why?, preached by Joseph Prince on 11 April 2004. To obtain a copy of the full message, visit Joseph Prince Ministries at www.josephprince.org

served. I came to serve.” (Matthew 20:28)

“Pastor Prince, how can you say that? Jesus is Lord. He is God.” Yes, He is all that. But He is also our Servant. And it is pride not to allow Him to serve us. When Peter refused to allow Jesus to wash his feet, Jesus said, “If I do not wash your feet, you have no part with Me.” (John 13:8)

It takes humility for us to allow Jesus to minister to us. We want to minister to the Lord. We want to give to the Lord. We want to do things for the Lord. We want to build great things for the Lord. We want to be contributors to the Lord. But we can give nothing because we are all bankrupt spiritually. What can we give, except that which we have received from Him? So the greatest thing you can do is to receive from Him.

One of the criminals who was crucified with Jesus said of himself and the other thief, “We deserve to die for our evil deeds, but this Man has done nothing wrong.” Then, he turned to Jesus and said, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” (Luke 23:40–42)

In the movie, when Jesus turned His face to look at the thief, I saw something. In the midst of all His suffering, somebody brought refreshment to His heart. Somebody still asked something of Him. And He was so pleased that He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43) That dying thief refreshed Jesus’ heart when he put himself under the fountain of His blood.

Beloved, what “strengthens” our Savior? What “refreshes” Him, if I may use such language? It is when He is able to give to a sinner, when He can find someone who is willing to receive from Him. That refreshes Him because He loves to serve. It is the nature of His heart of love to serve. And we are the objects of His love.

He remains a Servant forever by choice. Yes, He is all glorious. But even though He has been gloriously resurrected, He is a resurrected Man with affections and feelings like you and I, and that is why He knows how you feel, and wants to serve you. So if you are sick, come to Him and say, “Lord, I need Your service.” That is what refreshes His heart today.

I do not know if there were any Hebrew servants who chose not to go out free in Bible times. But let’s suppose that there was one. Now, imagine that after he and his wife have fallen asleep, his wife wakes up in the middle of the night. She looks at her husband and remembers that years ago, he could have gone out free, leaving her and their children behind, but he chose not to. And as he is sleeping there beside her, she sees his pierced ear — a symbol of his love for her forever.

Beloved, in heaven one day, we will see Jesus’ wounds. And we will remember that He did not have to remain and be pierced for our sins, but He chose to, because He loves us!

knees because it probably meant that I had sinned in some way. Those around me would often tell me that the reason my healing was not complete was that I still didn’t have enough faith, or wasn’t making the right confession, and they would give me more faith teaching books and CDs.

I got so frustrated constantly evaluating where my faith is (as if faith were an intellectual attribute). I realized that the miracles I had received in the beginning before I learned all this “faith” stuff was because I was just like a little child looking to Jesus, and He would show up and deliver me. I started to miss those times.

And then I found you on TV, and began to hear your message of grace. How liberating! Your preaching on God’s grace provides more freedom and healing to me than all the teachings on faith I have ever read and heard!

I thank God for having put you on TV and for giving you this ministry of grace. What you are preaching is the real thing! You preach the real Jesus! You preach the gospel of Jesus in truth! Thank you! Henrietta Andersen | New Jersey, USA

Your preaching on God’s grace provides more freedom and healing to me than all the teachings on faith I have ever read and heard!

Hearing About God’s Grace Provided More Freedom And Healing

I just wanted to tell you that I thank God almost every day for having you on TV because through your messages, my life has changed. Jesus uses you mightily

in a special way and so many need to hear what you are saying. Unfortunately, the legalism keeps them from it.

I got born again six months ago. Before that, I suffered from a brain injury for three years and it completely debilitated me. I didn’t know God at all. I was into the new age movement, mysticism and occult stuff, and I felt that my life was literally over. When I got born again, Jesus started to heal me, and at the church I go to, they hold healing classes and since I was so sick, they gave me all kinds of books and CDs on faith teachings in order for me to receive my healing.

From all the faith teachings to all kinds of teachings about confession, my Christianity was becoming a technique, and deep in my heart I felt unhappy. If a symptom came back, I would immediately be on my

Honored To Hear The Gospel Of Grace

Glory to God for your ministry! How the Holy Spirit has reached me through listening to you on the Daystar network! I am blessed to be a

blessing, and to know that God loves me so much and only wants the best for me is hard to comprehend. I am beginning to learn more than I have in the 49 years of my life about the Lord. His grace is suffi cient and His favor is there for me to reach out to and take a hold of.

I am sending my blessings to you with a joy in my heart that Abba is not angry with me. May He prosper your ministry in the most incredible way and may you always be held in esteem at the city gates. Thank you for listening to His call on your life, Joseph Prince. I am honored to have heard your message. Grace to you, your family and staff.

A Return To The Lord’s Grace

Pastor Prince, thank God for you! I had forgotten what the grace of God sounded like! I was a victim of grace robbers for years, and until I heard you

preach on TV about grace, everything about me was always wrong. Now I’m beginning to be restored back into the real grace Jesus paid for me to have.

I purchased today the Grace & Favour Seminar CDs to help keep His grace as the focal point of my life. (I’ll need to hear it repeatedly for a while, I’ve been too long without water.) I realized years ago I got off the track, but nobody told me how to get back on track. I didn’t even know what the problem was. I just had problems, and lots of them, too many for people to bear. Then, I heard you talking about grace — wow! I knew then what I needed again, it was what I had at the beginning with Jesus — grace!

And I didn’t have to do or be anything other than myself to obtain it! Why do people like to complicate things? I got the same way and got messed up. Thank you for listening to God telling you to preach grace. The souls trapped under burdens within the church itself need that grace. And people who left church because of the lack of grace will be restored by that grace we had experienced before when we first came to Jesus. Thank you! Elizabeth M. Gaikowski | Nevada, USA

Jesus Made Real

I am sitting here overwhelmed after watching you today on Daystar television. You preached on God renewing our youth like the eagle’s. I am praying

God’s protection over you continually, in every way. You are a rare jewel on the breastplate of Jesus Christ our High Priest.

I am a 58-year-old woman who has walked with the Lord Jesus since I was 16. You are a tremendous gift to my life and I have ordered both your DVDs off the US website. I would love to get the one on youthfulness, as well as your Grace & Favour series. I can listen to you over and over and over again. It is like sitting at the feet of Jesus. You’ve touched my heart as no other minister has. You make Jesus real to me and let Him shine through your preaching. My prayers are with you! Pamela Kay De Smet | USA

Set Free From Condemnation And Guilt

I have been watching your programs for just about three weeks, and after hearing a couple of your messages, I am the happiest I have ever been in my 63 years on this

earth. In my childhood and beyond, I have heard nothing but a harsh, judging God and condemnation if one does not or cannot follow the law.

I have always believed that there isn’t a person ever on this earth with the exception of Jesus, who could live a sinless life and follow the law to the last dot. I have been a Christian since childhood, but always felt condemnation and guilt. I feel free now, as if a huge load has been lifted off my shoulders.

May God continue to bless your ministry, and I am looking forward to viewing more of your sermon programs on television.

Conference delegates worshipping God in the ExCel London.

Events Coverage

Joseph Prince In The United Kingdom

Joseph Prince was in the United Kingdom from 10 to 14 October 2007 to speak at the Hillsong Europe Conference, as well as at three Sunday services at Hillsong London.

Invited specially by Brian Houston, senior pastor of the Hillsong churches, Joseph’s two Conference sessions at the ExCel London were a roaring success. He ministered to an estimated 9,000 delegates, and judging from the on-the-spot interviews conducted by our video team, many of them had come with hearts full of excited anticipation. In addition, more than 100 individuals responded to the altar calls and gave their lives to Jesus.

On 14 October 2007, Joseph preached two services to the Hillsong London congregation at the Dominion Theatre in London, addressing about 5,000 people in total, with 40 individuals receiving salvation.
