Did you know what happened on the sixth day? What did God create on the sixth day? On the sixth day, God created Adam, who was God’s first son on earth? But did you also know that Jesus, the second Son of God, Who walked on this earth, died on the sixth day?
God created man on the sixth day
Let’s have a look at the moment when the son of God (mtu) was created:
Na Mungu akasema, Na tumfanye mtu kwa mfano wetu, baada ya mfano wetu:na wakatawale samaki wa baharini, na juu ya ndege wa angani, na juu ya mifugo, na juu ya dunia yote, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Kwa hiyo Mungu akamuumba mtu kwa mfano wake, kwa mfano wa Mungu alimwumba; mwanamume na mwanamke aliwaumba. Na Mungu akawabariki, na Mungu akawaambia, Kuwa na matunda, na kuzidisha, na kuijaza dunia, na kuitiisha:na mkatawale samaki wa baharini, na juu ya ndege wa angani, na juu ya kila kiumbe chenye uhai kiendacho juu ya nchi. Na Mungu akasema, Tazama, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat:and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, na, tazama, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day (Mwanzo 1:26-31)
Jesus died on the sixth hour of the sixth day
Now let’s have a look at the moment, huyo Yesu, Mwana wa Mungu, the Son of man, died on the sixth day and what took place at the cross, from the sixth hour:
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, akisema, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? Hiyo ni kusema, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, sema, This man calleth for Elias. And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
Yesu, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. Na, tazama, pazia la Hekalu likapasuka vipande viwili toka juu mpaka chini; na nchi ikatetemeka, na miamba ikapasuka; And the graves were opened; ikainuka miili mingi ya watakatifu waliolala, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, akaingia katika mji mtakatifu, na kuwatokea wengi. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, akisema, Truly this was the Son of God (Mathayo 27:45-54)
On the sixth day, man was created, and on the sixth day it was the end for the carnal man.
The crown of God’s creation
Man was the crown of God’s creation. Mungu alipomuumba mwanadamu, His work was completed. God looked at everything He created and saw it was very good. God rested on the seventh day.
It was all good, until the moment came that His perfect work, and the harmony, became disrupted, by man becoming wasiotii to God the Father, Muumba.
Wakati huo, the creation was not perfect anymore. Because through the Kutotii of man, the spirit of the human race died.
Man gave their position as son of God, and their authority as a son of God, to rule over the earth and all there is within, to the devil; adui wa Mungu.
Kuanzia wakati huo, man was narrated to the flesh, and their final destination would be death.
But God had already a new plan, kwa give back the authority to His sons and daughters, and to have a relationship with them again. God’s new plan would bruise the serpent’s head; and He would legally take back the authority, that was originally given to man. This happened on the sixth day of the week, when Jesus Christ took all the sins and iniquities of the world upon Himself, and died for mankind.
A new era
Yesu alifufuka kutoka kwa wafu, on the first day of the week, also called the eight-day. This eight-day was the first day of a new era. The old covenant had passed away, the new covenant had begun, which included the uumbaji mpya that would be born of the Spirit of God.
Jesus had defeated the devil and death, by being completely obedient to God. Jesus had taken back the authority as Son of God. Jesus was the first One of the new creation.
Kila mmoja, who would believe in Jesus Christ; and would accept Him as Saviour and made Him Lord over their lives, He would give the opportunity, Kuwa Mwana wa Mungu (born of the Holy Spirit) and have eternal life. Only through Him it was possible, and still is possible.
