The Magnificent Christ

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God

And the Word was God.

He was with God in the beginning.

Through Him all things were made;

Without Him nothing was made that has been made.

In Him was LIFE, and that LIFE was the LIGHT of men.

The LIGHT that shines in the darkness,

But the darkness has not understood it.

There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John.

He came as a witness to testify concerning that LIGHT,

So that through him all men might believe.

He himself was not the LIGHT; he came only as a witness to the LIGHT.

The True LIGHT that gives LIGHT to every man was coming into the world.

He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him,

The world did not recognize Him.

He came to that which was His own, but His own receive Him not.

Yet to all who received Him, to those who believe in His Name,

He gave the right to become children of God--

Children born not of natural descent,

Not of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

The Word became flesh and lived for a while among us.

We have seen His Glory, the Glory of the One and only Son,

Who came from the Father, full of GRACE and TRUTH. (John 1:1-14)

Christ Jesus has always existed from before “Time” began.

He is the Word of God and He is God, they are One and the Same;

Through Christ Jesus ALL things were made; the entire material world.

Without Him nothing was made that has been made. Nothing!

In Him was LIFE; He is the only LIFE that exists in all that exists;

God is the only LIFE that exists; all that lives emanates from Him;

He gives natural life and sustains natural life.

If He did not exist there would be nothing at all. Nothing!

Christ Jesus is LIFE and as such is LIGHT;

He Who illuminates the TRUTH, and He is that TRUTH.

Without Him there would be no LIGHT, no LIFE, no TRUTH, no WAY;

All would be darkness.

He came to this fallen world that was hopeless, helpless and condemned;

In complete and total darkness.

He came and shined His LIGHT into the darkness by His very Presence;

By the TRUTH He spoke and by the miracles He performed.

He brought His Kingdom to earth as in Heaven.

He demonstrated His superiority over the kingdom of this world

Ruled by Satan, by destroying the Satan's work; setting the captives free.

He came to His own, the Jews, but they would not receive Him.

The Jews were wrapped up in their religious traditions blinded by Satan.

They diligently studied the Word of God

But it's most fundamental meaning, the heart of God, escaped them.

They were waiting for a Messiah

Who would liberate them from Roman domination, not from their sin.

They missed the day of their visitation by God, their Savior,

And had Him crucified in their arrogance, ignorance and jealousy.

Because of this, as Jesus foretold, their House was left to them desolate.

Yet, as in every generation there was a REMNANT

Who did receive Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord; who were “born again”

Into the Kingdom of God.

Who after Pentecost, by the power of the Holy Spirit,

Began a move of God that continues to this day.

Today, this generation as every preceding generation

Has been given by God the opportunity to choose His Savior, Christ Jesus;

To make Him their Savior and Lord.

And as in every preceding generation only a REMNANT does.

In every generation a REMNANT gives witness to His LIGHT.

Today, in the gross darkness of the world we live in,

Christ Jesus comes to those who lay claim to His Name;

By His anointing He preaches the good news to the poor;

He proclaims freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind;

He releases the oppressed and proclaims the years of the Lord's favor.

Yet, who sees Him? Who hears Him?

Who has ears to hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.

Many who claim His Name are as wrapped up in their religion;

Wrapped up in their wordiness, as were the Jews of the day of Christ.

Many are blinded by Satan to the heart of God.

Many refuse to be crucified with Christ to this wicked world;

They are instead friends of this world and therefore the enemies of Christ.

Their faith is a shallow as water in a saucer.

There is no power of God in their lives; they don't need it;

They make their own way that seems right to them, the end thereof is death.

I pray that hose who read this

Have been crucified with Christ to this world and no longer live

But it is Christ who lives in them.

That this life that they now live

They live by Faith in the Son of God

And His power at work in them;

That they have set their hearts on things above;

That their life is hidden with Christ in God;

That they have clothed themselves with the garments of Christ,

And let His Word dwell richly in them.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
