And you notice, Abraham slept; Isaac slept; Jacob slept; the patriarchs slept, but Christ died: separation. In His death God wasn’t with Him. He had to suffer the absence of God in His death that we would have the Presence of God in our death. See? And there God struck upon Him our judgment. And there’s our judgment. Some men’s sins go before them and some follow. Let’s confess ours now, so it’ll go on before us. And Christ met our judgment. And God, in the garden of Eden, when He pronounced death upon the human race, “The day you eat thereof, that day ye shall die,” every human being. And “death” means “separation.” That’s the reason we call it death for one another. We just separate from one another. But there is no death for a Christian, “He that liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.” That’s it: never die. And “He that believeth My Words and he heareth My Words…(John 5:24.) He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath (Past tense) passed from death unto Life…shall not come into condemnation.” You see?
