From Spirit to Body.

I have always believed that Jesus was the son of God the Father since the beginning of time. It's Him that was always at the right hand of our Father. After all Father had a plan for redemption at the first sign of sin. It was the Father that made the first prophecy and He had a plan to redeem the world from the very beginning. His ways are perfect and we can always rely on His plan to make everything right. After all, His pathway is righteousness. It doesn't lead to righteousness, it IS righteousness. So from spirit to body He came. The son of God Almighty as vulnerable as could possibly be with a nation of assassins trying to track him down and a trough for a manger He came. From the body He learned in a human perspective how far, how deep, and how wide His Father's love could reach. From down here surrounded by what we would call an environment of strife and turmoil, of chaos and fear he was blanketed in his Father's care and protected by all of Heavens armies. In love He was led in faith to Egypt and by grace was exiled during childhood. But it wasn't all for Him. I believe it was written as a testimony for those that would believe in the son so that they would know the Father just as Jesus knew the Father. He is the example. He is the evidence that human life can remain in constant communion with the Father. We can have this communion because of our redemption given to us. Because there was a plan from the very beginning to redeem the lost and fill the gap between mankind and God sin was potentially eradicated. Effectively our dependence on Christ therefore is our result in being with the Father just as Jesus was with the Father. When we rely on the Holy Spirit and the power of Christ we commune with our Father and when we do this everyday we live with God. If you believe in your Father in heaven believe that with Jesus all things are possible. Believe that when you seek Him who is holy you too will be holy because holiness abides within and it is He who is within all of us who believe.

Thank you Jesus for making it possible to have communion with our Father. Thank you for being the example and the evidence that shows us through your word that we can rely on the Father just as you did. From your spirit, to your birth, to your life, to your death, to your blood, to your new body resurrected from the grave and back to the spot at the right hand of God the Father I believe you did it all and that now and forever more it is finished. You've fulfilled the prophecies of old for all of us so that we can see how deep the love of your Father, our Father really goes. This love is being revealed to the world and sin is being exposed all over the earth. They will all see the power of our Messiah. They will bow to it, every knee. And every tongue will confess that you are Lord to the glory of our Father. We will engage.
