The Bible Basis for Corporate Repentance

VI. CHRIST’S OWN CORPORATE. REPENTANCE

  1. Personally "repented" before His baptism (Matt. 3:13-17; 1901 GCB, p. 36; RH Jan. 21, 1873; Letter 96, 1900). Yet was personally sinless (1 Peter 2:24; 2 Corinthians 5:21, etc.).

  2. Took upon Himself corporate guilt of Jewish nation and of the world (Isaiah 53; John 1:29).

  3. Demands no more of us than He Himself experienced: but commands what He did experience (Revelation 3:19-21; the command to "repent" in verse 19 is linked with the "even as I" of verse 21).
