THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD - PART 373

Grace and peace be to you from our God and Father the Lord Jesus the Christ. Galatians 1:3 and Ephesians 1:2.

The grace of God which brings forth salvation has appeared. Yes, God was manifest in the flesh so that we might obtain life eternal. GOD Himself as a Son came to redeem His household so that we -- the redeemed now being the temple in which His Holy Spirit is pleased to dwell -- can be saved. He [the Holy Spirit] in Christ purchased us with His own precious blood, which eternal life blood flowed in the veins of the son child JESUS who was conceived of the SEED life of God who is Holy Spirit.

JESUS' body was nourished and clothed upon in flesh in the womb of His surrogate mother Mary and fashioned in flesh appearing a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death. That He {JESUS} by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Therefore, without hesitance, let us come boldly to His throne of grace so that we may obtain mercy that will comfort and help us in times of need.

God as a Son being God manifest in the flesh as a Son was obedient to the will of His Father the Holy Spirit. Nevertheless, the decision was made as a Son that He would lay aside the will of His flesh (to live) and consequently become obedient to the will of His Father which was, as we now realize to lay down His flesh as a sacrificial offering.

On making this decision for humans everywhere, JESUS sweat as these were drops of blood (the pivotal decision to which He responded by saying, "Not my will [the will of the flesh to live] but thy will be done." Amen! Abba Father! Herein we see the grace of the Lord JESUS the Christ manifesting the love of God towards us. God as a Son, by the willing sacrifice of His sinless body (yet prone to sin body) has redeemed us to commune and fellowship with His Holy Spirit.

It is because of God's willingness to become a man that we are assured that the Son of God has come and opened our understanding. So that we can know and recognize the truth as stated in the gospel scriptures. For in JESUS the Son of the Spirit of God did all truth dwell. JESUS who is the true God -- the tree of eternal life! It is unto Him that we are kept from falling in our daily walk with Jesus. It is He who will present us as faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. Yes, to the one and only wise God Our Saviour, be the glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.

To the believing church, please remember the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. That is, stand fast therein. Peace in JESUS!
