Putting words into the mouth of the Lord Jesus Christ: Part Five (Benedictory)

Monday, September 30th, 2013

Jesus is our pattern of excellence, as in a way that is, us–magnified.  We, humans, need him to be as we are:  Jesus is the image of that truth; in that, he is the Son of man.  If Jesus is not as we are; then, we have no ready way to flow to God, as in the image of the Christ.  We need this pattern of the Christ because, there is no other choice . . . as presented here; Jesus declared that, he is the way . . .

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.  And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

(John 14:1-7)

. . . Moreover, the apostle Paul delivered the message that tells us what is at the end of that way.

How Do You Know? Part Three (He First Loved Us)

Thursday, September 19th, 2013

Faith is now firmly in the equation.  Moreover; since we have not received the desire of our heart, hope is still laying in the spirit.  At this time, though; there is a possible concern about whether hope is alive.  And, even if we accept that hope is alive, in reality; is it (she or he) just teasing us?  We are in this land . . .

The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life

(Proverbs 13:9-12)

Though we may want to have things be different; still, we cannot, yet, project our joining-love at the other person.  That is to say; at this time, we cannot fall in love with them–for, it may be that there is no, them, to share in the love, along with us . . . yet . . . as pertains to falling.  However, there is a means of practicing, being in love with them:  because, there is already Someone in Love, with Whom we can fall.

Putting words into the mouth of the Lord Jesus Christ: Part Four (Manipulation)

Monday, September 9th, 2013

Old Testament Scripture provides a wealth of clarification of the essence of the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ; as distinct from the manifestation of God as the LORD God, the Father, as overarching all things.  In the genesis of the New Age, the clarification of that distinction is augmented by the words of others of the ambassadors of the LORD; as received in, revelation from God.  Herein, we borrow from the revelation of one of the very public ambassadors of the LORD, of that day.  First, here is the ambassador’s certification.

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:  Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.  Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.  But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.

(Galatians 1:15-18)

In the following, we present the revelation that the apostle Paul received about the independence of the Son of God.
