GRACE AND TRUTH CAME

GRACE AND TRUTH CAME

John 1:17 - For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Why did Jesus have to be born? God chose to make covenant with man.. Jesus came in the form of a man with a body of a man in order to have dominion and authority. Jesus Christ was a man anointed with Holy Ghost. This made it perfectly legal for Jesus to destroy the works of the devil.

 The seed Mary received was the Word, the incorruptible seed that took on flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus Christ is the living Word of God. His name is Emmanuel meaning, “God with us.”

God is not with us bu in us. (Col 1:27)  To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Luke 2:11 “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Galatians 4:4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

Is. 9:6-7 For unto us a Child is born,  ( Son of God) Unto us a Son is given; (Son of Man) And the government will be upon His shoulder.(Body of Christ) And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice.

Grace and Truth came.

Jesus Christ formed a perfect union of being a Spirit-Man manifested in a natural / physical body, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”(John 1:14). He was the LAST Adam so that WE may become the Second Man - Christ manifest in His many-membered Body; “For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.”(1 Corinthians 12:12). We are no longer IN Adam as Jesus Christ was the LAST Adam; our true identity is created IN Christ!

Grace and Truth came and was imparted to us.

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS

There are those that "reject" Christmas and Easter due to their association with pagan festivals. Over the years I have vacillated between a whole bunch of different points of view about these matters.

Several years  ago, my heart has been more centered in Himself, Jesus the Christ, and as a result things have changed. For the more I focus on Him, the more I see Him revealed in ALL THINGS. Christmas for some is seen as the time of the pagan festival of the sun god instituted to get the pagans involved with Christian issues. But another way to look at it........JESUS...is the Lord God of the Sun....and the Son of God. Jesus fulfills the pagan celebration in Himself. Likewise...when Easter is celebrate...the Rites of Spring...new birth from winters death...the goddess of ISIS...Jesus fulfilled all the pagan natural heart was looking to in ISIS. Jesus is the fulfillment of NEW BIRTH, NEW LIFE....He is the fulfillment of all things. So often we get looking at the "thing" through the filter of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and miss Himself....This day...this season, this year...NOW is the time of Himself, Jesus..Yeshua, my Saviour...the Lord of all creation to be worshipped and celebrated, his forgiveness received and freely given!

That is what Christmas, Easter, Passover, and every other holiday and celebration ultimately points to....The Lord God, He is One and there is NONE OTHER>>>>
