God Was In Christ Reconciling the Word Unto Himself -- Part 1326

God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. Jesus said that it was not Him that was doing the work but rather "the Father who dwells within Me" He is doing the work! Even as a young child, we see Jesus saying, "I must be about My Father’s business." God was about to purchase the church with His own blood. (Acts 20:28) He was to become the perfect sacrifice. Why? Because without the shedding of blood, there could be no remission of sin. 

The only remedial atoning blood was the holy, undefiled blood of the Holy Ghost that was sacrificed freely, and yet, with agonizing torture, administered by the hands of fallen, unbelieving and religious fanatics. In their ignorance, and intent on crucifying the Lord of glory, the judicial system, at the conclusion of their proceeding had issued a verdict that stated, "I find no fault in Him."

The judge then proceeds to wash his hands as if soap and water were capable of removing him from any awareness of conscious guilt. Passing his authoritative power into the hands of a premeditative murderous multitude, who were more than willing to rid the earth of an alternative way of life, and, exposing their yokes of bondage. Being imposed by religious leaders upon men, the so-called shepherds feeding themselves, not caring for the sheep.

Today, the so-called shepherds, responsible for administering the gospel of Jesus Christ are fleecing the flock. Unfortunately, the sheep seem to be oblivious to the fact that they are being milked into poverty. That is the reason the Lord Himself carries us into His sheepfold. We were totally lost, and how! He found us and gave to us the gift of eternal life. It is up to us to accept the gift that God has so graciously provided. How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?

This salvation, being purchased not with silver or gold, but rather by one who is called the Lamb of God, whose innocent blood poured forth from the veins of the Holy Ghost on earth. The Word made flesh. He was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not. (John 1:10-11) In this case, the earth being the womb of mankind. The redemptive blood being the remedy for all sin, offered freely to each and everyone of us.

It is for this reason that whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. The "whosoever" can receive redemption now. Whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. The name of JESUS. 

"For He shall save His people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21-23) 

The Name of JESUS above every other name in heaven and on earth. (Philippians 2:9)

The Lord of Glory. (Acts 2:36) He introduced Himself as Jesus. He told us that He had delivered the name that the Father had given Him. If this is not enough evidence, then one only has to look to the apostles and believers within the early church who went everywhere preaching Jesus. 

Unlike today, where YHWH with its inserted vowels are being advanced as God’s so called name, even when this substitute is nothing more than the incommunicable name of a Hebrew God. If it be incommunicable, then why are so many running everywhere endeavouring to communicate that which is inconceivable. Good question!

Even more so, why are so many diligently working to rid our world of the precious name of Jesus. I can tell you. Because in Jesus name, there is healing. In the name of Jesus, the blind can see and the deaf hear. In the name of the Lord Jesus, people can be restored to the very purpose God put in their heart whilst they were still in their mother's womb. 

Most of all, in the name of Jesus, our sins can be forgiven -- though as red as scarlet, the blood of Jesus can make them white as snow. 

"Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which HE HATH PURCHASED WITH HIS OWN BLOOD." (Acts 20:28)

Peace be in Jesus name! Stand in the offering plate.
