revealed independently and altogether

apart from the Law, although actually it

is attested by the Law and the prophets.

(Romans 3.21).

It is truly vital to rightly understand that

this is a fallen world, our predicament in it is

indeed dire,

we are helpless, hopeless and desperate and

apart from God’s grace this world is doomed.

All we like sheep have gone astray, everyone to

his own way. There is none that does good, not one.

The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked, who

can know it? All have sinned and come short of

the glory of God. The Law and the Prophets clearly

expound the Fix we are in. St. Paul said that

there is no good in him, he could not do what he

should do and did what he should not do.

We are bound in time and space, limited in

possibility and ability.

However, we have eternity

set in our hearts as Solomon said. We know there

has to be a point to it all and we reflect on

our origin, a time when there was abundance, peace,

love and only goodness in the Garden

where Adam and Eve strolled with God in the cool

of the day.

There was a time when the

sun stood still and time stopped upon Gibeon

and the moon did not move in the valley of

Ayalon.

We know there is a future with no pain, no sorrow, no tears

and no war.

We know there is a future resurrection when the

graves will be opened and the sea will give up the

dead.

We know that there is a judgeement coming when

the Jesus Christ will judge everyone

righteously because He is the righteous Son of God

and Son of man.

He is our righteousness.

He is our redeemer. He is our future.

But, now, refers to the new order of things, to the

shape of things to come and our escape of

the desperate Fix we are in.

This is because the Kingdom has come to us.

The Kingdom is among us , because the King has come.

The King of kings and Lord of lords has come.

I saw a new heaven and a new earth, says St. John in

Revelation, for the first heaven and

the first earth are passed away.

But, now we hear the voice of God which is

heard in the Law and has also spoken by the

prophets, speaking through the Holy Spirit

and  guiding us.

But, now in these last days

God has spoken to us in the Person of His Son,

Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner

of all things, also by and through Whom He

created the worlds and the reaches of space

and the ages of time (He made, produced, built,

operated and arranged them in order).

He is the sole expression of the glory of God

(the Light-being, the out-raying, the radiance

of the divine) and He is the perfect imprint and

very image of God’s nature, upholding and

maintaining, guiding and propelling the

universe by His mighty word of power.

When He had by offering Himself accomplished

our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down

at the right hand of the divine majesty on high.

(Hebrews 1.2 & 3).

HALLELUJAH! PRAISE, HONOR, GLORY AND POWER BE UNTO JESUS WHOM THE HOLY FATHER HAS

SEATED AT HIS RIGHT! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
