For To This End, Christ Both Died, And Rose, And Revived That He Might Be Lord Both Of The Dead And Of The Living - Part 1824

Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." (John 12:24)

Except that a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it abides alone. But when it dies, as we know from watching a farmer's crop grow,  it brings forth multitudes of offspring. In this same way, JESUS -- wherein the Seed life of the Holy Ghost died -- brings forth SEEDED people who then become JESUS' offspring.

Therefore, no man "took" JESUS' life, as some might suggest, for at any time, JESUS could have called for a legion of angels to deliver Him. But as we now know, JESUS came to lay down His Life as a Son in order that we - the fallen sons of God - should be proclaimed free. For he who is set free by the sacrificial offering of the sinless body of the Holy Ghost is really free. Born again into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.

Weep now for it was for you and I that He said, "Father, why hast thou forsaken Me?" If JESUS had not spoken these words, then that sinless body would never have died. But then He said, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do!"

Yes, it is finished. The price for our sin paid for once and for all. The holy Spirit bore our sins in His own body on a dead tree. Why? Even the sun darkened when we crucified the Lamb of God - the Lord of Glory! We even shouted "away with Him" because we will not have this man to rule over us! For in our selfish modes, we do want another King to rule over us.

And there is no doubt about it -- Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is the Great I AM. He is the Lord of hosts, the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the ending. God manifest in the flesh -- His glory for all the world to behold! He loves us as His beloved, and has chosen us in Him to become His offspring.

After the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared. (Titus 3:4-7) He was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own and His own received Him not. (John 1:10-11)

Because JESUS was crucified once and only once there is no more sacrificial offering required for sin. He is the Lamb of God. The true Light of the glorious gospel of God in the face of Jesus the Christ -- forever more shines. A light much brighter than even the noon day sun.

Further, nature teaches that we are spirit beings living our lives in a body, and appearing as sons or daughters. It is in these sons and daughter bodies that we bear our offspring. We father [and mother] all our children in a son or daughter body. GOD who is Spirit has done likewise FATHERING all His REDEEMED children in a Son's body. This is why He that has the Son has Life! Remember what the scriptures state - "I will never leave you nor forsake you Lo, I am with you always!"

Have you received His holy Spirit -- the Holy Ghost -- since you believed? If not, repent and be baptized into the Name of JESUS, going down into the water in the ‘likeness’ of JESUS' death and being raised up out of the water in the ‘likeness’ of JESUS' resurrection. (Acts 2:36-47) Yes, so that you too shall receive the promised gift of the holy Spirit of JESUS as He breathes His eternal life upon you!

"For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord both of the dead and living." (Romans 14:8-9)
To all my brothers and sisters in Christ from all nations, be victorious in our Lord God and Saviour. Peace be to you all in JESUS!
