Jesus Said, "Ye Will See Me No More ...." - Part 1594

And Jesus said unto them, "These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophecies, and [in] the psalms, concerning Me." Then opened He their understanding that they might understand the scriptures, and said unto them, "Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day; and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you; but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be endued with power from on high." (Luke 24:44-49; Acts 17:3)

Jesus sent His Word and the people were healed. In fact, Jesus' Word was power packed. For when Jesus spoke, lo the much needed resolution would come to pass. Indeed, no Word proceeding from Jesus' mouth was fruitless. Every Word had meaning. And, as we know today, every Word spoken by Jesus was (and still is) life to those who call upon His name.

Why? Because God was in Christ. The eternal Spirit of God dwelt in all fullness in the man Jesus. (Colossians 2:9) Yes, God Himself. God’s holy Spirit is the one instrumental in bringing the man Jesus into this Adamic creation. Recall what the angel said to Mary -- that which is conceived in you is of the Holy Ghost. (Luke 1:35)

Jesus -- being not only a Son as many Biblical revisions (in association with modern day religious culture) presents. For the Word declares that Jesus is the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD. Jesus performed the miracles. If He were a "created" son as Adam was, there would be no feeding of the 5000 plus.

Why not? Because it is His Word that had power. Look around. Everything that you see was brought to pass by the Spiritual Word of God. You want to view art? Look around you and listen to the sound effects. Consider His handiwork for which you now have no excuse. This is why with all our learning we also ought to seek understanding.

We are God’s workmanship. God is still on His Throne. God is everywhere. The only place that God does not inhabit is a man’s heart and this is because He created us to have choices. Still, when we ask our Lord God and Saviour into our heart, God responds to our faith with His eternal power.

In the new testament, the Apostles were eye witnesses, recording the apostolic doctrine so that we could remain steadfast in them. This is why after we repent, and are water baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we study His Word for truth. (Acts 1:36-47) We desire spiritual gifts. (I Corinthians 12 through 14)

And we discern from the scriptures what is truth, and that which is a lie. The Jesus Apostles chosen by the Spirit of God on the opening day of the Christian faith did not say to the populace that they should keep sacraments in order to be saved. What they did say was this.

"Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus [the] Christ for the remission of sin" and that by so doing they would receive the promise of the Holy Ghost to indwell them. That very same day God added 3,000 faithful persons who -- as the scriptures state -- gladly received the Word.

And when we do this, we will never have to ask the question -- "May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speak is?" (Acts 17:19) Because we will already know the truth that will set us free. Stand fast in the liberty wherewith is Christ. (Galatians 5:1) Stand in the offering plate.
