The Revelation of Jesus Christ - Walk Before Me and Be Made Perfect

God said to Abraham, "Walk before me and be thou perfect."  For us to be made perfect and complete we must walk in the seeing of the Lord.  He is our perfection.  He is our completion.  Nothing else is!  
The Apostle Paul said we are made complete in Christ.  You and I can only find completion in Him.  So many times, we are looking for perfection of our own.  It is Christ in you that completes!  Consider John writing in John 1, "of His fullness we have received, grace upon grace."  His fullness in us to be made known.  Glory to God!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ - Christ our Life

Col 3:1 "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory."
 
If we could comprehend this and dwell right here.  You are dead.  You are dead to everything of you, including yourself!  You are alive in Him, and only in Him to you have life.  He is our life.  This is the Resurrection and Life.  We are raised up with Him to dwell in His Life and declare it to the earth!  Amen.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ - Christ and the Church

The scripture tells us that The Church is His Body the fullness of Him that fills all in all.  This is a remarkable statement.  In the Church is the fullness or completion of Christ.  May it actually be saying the is His completion?  A thought I have is the work Jesus did resulted in the Church.  
He completed the Church through His death, burial, and resurrection.  We the Church are His new creation in the earth to give Him manifestation.  We are His.  He is our identity.  Let us be found in Him!  Glory to God!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ - Christ the Wisdom of God II

I Corinthians 3:9 “For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.” 
 
Oh, the wisdom of God.  Only built upon Christ.  God’s wisdom was to bring forth in the Lord Jesus Christ, and only in Him.  In the old covenant we see a picture of the wisdom of God.  God granting wisdom to the men who would construct his tabernacle and his temple.  In one place it is said there was no hewn stone in the building of the altar.  This is speaking that man will not add to it.  Nothing of man.  The wisdom and supply to build the altar and the house would come of God. 
 
Let us here this.  Moses went up unto God and saw the pattern.  God showed him, revealed to him the house.  Only in the revelation shown by God, even in type and shadow, did the house come forth.  Christ the House we are made part of is not a type or shadow, but he is the divine wisdom of God that we build up the church in for the habitation of God by Spirt.  Glory to God!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ - Christ the Wisdom of God

Solomon said there was no new thing under the sun.  In other words, the things of man are the same.  He said all is vanity and vexation of spirit.  We could say that this is a sad state of affairs for the sons of men.
 
Now the Apostle Paul saw a light brighter than the new day son.  He come to a greater light.  He began to see the Wisdom and Power of God through this Light who is Christ. Here man finds purpose.  Here is where God's love and intention is found.  This light of God shining into our hearts to show the mind, will and purposes of God.  Glory to God!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ - Christ the Power of God II

Christ is the power of God that takes us from Adam, a man laden in sin, into the life of the Spirit.  We are moved from the humanity of the Old Man into the New Man, who is Christ.  It is His Power in us that brings us there and transforms us to His Image.  So  much can be said to Christ the power of God.  Glory to the Living God!  May His Name be Exalted in ALL the earth!
 

The Revelation of Jesus Christ - Christ the Power of God

How is Christ the Power of God?  Simple, he moves us from a dead man into a Living expression of God.  Christ in you is God's power in you.  This power of God brings us into the image of God's dear Son!  Glory to God!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ VII - The Eyes of the Heart

Paul's prayer was that the heart would be enlightened in the knowledge of Christ.  Consider for a moment the transition.  As a man or woman we were born in Adam (natural creation).  Our heart was in that knowledge.  We lived in that knowledge.  Now Paul's cry is that we come to the knowledge of another.  We come there through Christ being revealed in us!
 
May God reveal His Son in Us.  Glory to God
