CHRIST, in HIS appearance, was as chaste, pure, and, honest as is the LOVE of *GOD*; HE lived without blemish, stain, or, flaw, even though being tempted by Satan for 40 days, and, 40 nights, and surely, through HIS travels in the carnal world, felt what Mankind experienced! In doing so, HE perfected THE WAY to *GOD*, and, taught us HOW we, also, might manage, then, overcome, the endless assaults, which the deception of the world hurls at us day, and, night! JESUS fulfilled the prophecy of old, and, became the cornerstone, and, THE CHURCH, of which, all whom confess HIS name, shall become as building stones, provided that they have altered their ways, then, have aligned to a life of duty, in serving this CHURCH, CHRIST JESUS, our LORD, *GOD*, and, SAVIOUR!!!
This gift came with a price! The price is NOT easy to fulfill! We are to LEAVE the WORLD behind, as, when we were baptized into CHRIST, we, also, DIED to the world, IN SPIRIT, meaning, that the flesh, too, should follow suit; which means, that we are to TURN away from all which might bring taint unto THE CHURCH! We are to, through CONSTANT effort, examine, then, alter our beings, from the inside out, that they are WORTHY of all we have been given! *GOD* KNOWS that we are weaker that weak, especially since the gift of CHRIST, whom said, "Forgive them, FATHER, they know NOT what they do"!, because HE saw, and, felt through the human experience HOW deception through the ages has weakened us! HOWEVER, HE HAS placed within our reach, the WAY to arising ABOVE the holds of the world, which is grounded on EFFORT, in which case, proves that we ARE sincere in heart, and, ARE seeking that which is aligned to HIM, and, salvation! Thus, we must NEVER give up pursuit of perfecting as greatly as we can, given the human condition, that our place in THE CHURCH is not forsaken!!!
Daily is the WILL of *GOD* being done in the Heavens, and, the Earth! HE never relents, therefore, we, also, must DAILY, seek HIS Wisdom, and, Knowledge, then, take that to the depths of our beings, that we can develop, as from a seed, our character, in deeply rooted understanding, FAITH, HOPE, and, expectation for HIS GRACIOUS, and, MERCIFUL promises for our lives, and, the hereafter!!!
Even hourly, we must encourage ourselves, then, others, to become the best we can hope to be, which, only happens through EFFORT, understanding, embracing, and, then, UTILIZING all which HE has placed before us, that we, TRULY, ARE EXAMPLES carrying the yoke of *GOD*/CHRIST, all the days of our mortal lives, that, we are present in eternity!!!
The events leading to the NEW COVENANT are extensive, but, through CHRIST were fulfilled, and, have set the standard for returning to *GOD*! ONLY THROUGH CHRIST can one return to *GOD*, according to the WORD; this was set up BEFORE the foundations of the Earth, that ALL have opportunity to escape the fact of perishing, which the world has entrapped us in, that *GOD* be GLORIFIED by ALL of CREATION, not merely parts, for this IS why CREATION exists; to GLORIFY *GOD*! We are a BLESSED generation to be a part of such an awesome opportunity, but, again, it does not come without a price! That price means that each of us MUST do our service to the LORD, our *GOD*, and, walk as would HE, in LOVE, and, all inclusive therein! Reverently, we must align to the WORD, and, to *GOD*, in all ways, that we are, by EFFORT, shown to be true Children of the MOST HIGH *GOD*!!!
Let us then, ponder the imperatives of our role in this wondrous gift; not just during the Easter season, but, hourly, daily, weekly, and, for the rest of our troubled, mortal times, WHILE placing ALL FAITH, HOPE, and, TRUST in the *GODHEAD*, and, turning to HIM ALWAYS for whatever we might need in the quest of perfecting our carnal selves in HIS sights!!! AMEN!!!
