The mind must ask; Jesus is what? Who is this Jesus and what is He to me? The fact is, Jesus is! And who He is is important to know. Your life is eternally dependent upon this Jesus and who He is. Jesus is going to come one day to judge the whole world, those living and those who are dead. If you have not accepted Jesus' provisions for your entrance into His Kingdom then you will be counted with the rebel forces and will perish with them. Since you have read this far you can not plead ignorance and just so that you know how the system works, rejection of the truth is rebellion. Jesus is, therefore you must recon with Him. He is Lord! He is coming! He has prepared a way for you to escape judgment. His love for you compelled Him to willingly suffer the agonies of a terrible death so that you would be able to escape the punishment set for all who have lived contrary to the designs established for human behavior. That is right, the laws governing our conduct, when broken, bear consequence - death. This Jesus who did die was raised back to life by the power of the Almighty. This same power will also lift each and everyone who accepts Jesus' provisions of escape from the fate of death into life. This same power is also that which transforms our fleshly bodies into a glorious spiritual being like Jesus is right now. He, that is Jesus, is what Christians are becoming in Him. We all share the same flesh as that of the first human (Adam) but unless you become one of Jesus' you will never become like the New Adam, a Spiritual human. Jesus is Lord! He at this moment reigns over all creation. He and His subjects (and I am one of them) labor to bring every element of opposition and rebellion back under the subjection to the will of the Father who is the Almighty Creator. |
