In Jesus Dwells The Fullness of the Godhead Bodily - Part 1394

Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father but by Me."

From the beginning of time, God has been faithful in every promise. Indeed, His grace and mercy provide a way for us even during those times when it appears there is no way. A perfect example of God's promise to you and I can be found when JESUS said to His disciples, "Cast your net on the right side of the ship." His disciples replied by saying, "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing. Nevertheless, because you have so said Lord, we shall do." And the result? Fish! In fact, there were so many that fish could be seen everywhere. So much so, that the disciples' nets were bulging.

The reason for this example is clear. Right now, the world is in need of harvest. Why? Because the world is full of lost souls looking for hope that can satisfy their soul. Searching for the kind of peace that only God's grace and mercy can give. Desiring a reason to believe that the same God that created men and women cared enough to become a man and die for them.

It is for this reason that Jesus used an analogy about the man that sows the seed - preaches the Word - while another man reaps the harvest. He used the example of farming to teach us about the harvest that is ripe. In our world, God provides the SEED for the farmhand can sow. Then, with expectancy the farmer awaits. The rain falls, the sun shines, and the barren field in time brings forth life. The farmhand’s part was to plow the field, sow the seed and wait.

Likewise, God’s loving faithfulness toward man brings forth from a little shelled seed. Why? Because JESUS is the Lord of the harvest. The unseen Spirit of God has sown a SEED of Life. The Holy Ghost planted a life SEED into a young virgin body, when He overshadowed Mary. Within that young girl’s body, the SEED life was nurtured and cared for. That Holy Ghost implanted SEED took nine months in the womb before harvest.

So, from that SEED of the Spirit of God came forth IMMANUEL translated as God with us! (Matthew 1:21-23; Colossians 2:9; John 1:10-11) But the child did not look as if He were God. In fact, the child appeared as any other male child. Still, the Spirit of God had prophetically foretold of the coming of the Messiah (the Christ of God) and now, the prophecies were being fulfilled. Heavenly and earthly happenings coming to fruition, just as the Word said these would.

Yes, as the scriptures had foretold in the Old Testament, "A child is born, a Son is given, the government of the Kingdom of God shall be upon His shoulders, and the child will be proclaimed and called Wonderful - Counsellor - Mighty God - Everlasting Father - Prince of Peace!" (Isaiah 9:6)

The name of the child who is born to be Saviour was announced by an angel who said, Ye shall call His Name JESUS! The shepherds came and so did the wise men offering gifts. Upon seeing Jesus, they worshipped the young child. Yes, this child was the child of God’s predetermined will. And in this child did all the fullness of God’s predetermined will abide!

The Spirit Life within JESUS was the unchangeable Word of God! JESUS was the embodiment of God’s WORD for JESUS is the very Word that was with God, and the very same Word that was God. JESUS is the very God who made the world, and all that is therein. Apart from JESUS there is nothing!

Moreover, man’s heart is the ground into which the SEED of TRUTH seeks. This the same SEED that is spoken to all men through the mouth of JESUS in whom alone does the Living Word of God dwell. For it is written,, "In JESUS dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. The SEED WORD spoken by JESUS in the scriptures is endeavouring to root in men and women today.

Yes, JESUS came forth in fleshly fashion as one of Abraham descendants. Only in fashion. JESUS was the promised SEED of the Holy Ghost in which SEED all believing nations shall be blessed. Conversely, the nations that do not receive "God in Christ" or God our Saviour shall not prosper. Therefore, brethren, preach JESUS, the Prince of Peace to those who seek peace. Tell them why God loved them so much. Or better still, give them a Bible. Why? Because the entrance of God’s Word gives proper understanding!

If you are reading this, and desire to know what you must do to be saved, read Acts 2 for context. The answer to the question, is to repent of your sin and believe that Jesus is both Lord and Christ. Be water baptized in the Name of Jesus -- every one of you -- and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. But do not stop there. Open your new testament Bible and start reading. As you discover treasures unknown to your heart before, highlight the scripture. Write notes about what you are learning. Study to show thyself approved unto God. Pray without ceasing and rejoice evermore. Stand in the offering plate.
