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!

But He ascended? Now what can this, He ascended, mean but that

He had previously descended from the heights of heaven into the

depths, the lower parts of the earth?

He Who descended is the very same as He Who also has ascended

high above all the heavens, that He might fill all things, the whole

universe with His presence, from the lowest to the highest.

(Ephesians 4.9 and 10).

POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE

1) He Who knew no sin became sin for us, so that we might become the

righteousness of God in Christ (I. Corinthians 5.21).

He entered into the fullness of human experience in order to redeem

humanity. Sorrow, grief, sadness, frustration, anger, disappointment,

being misunderstood, insulted, attacked, tortured, imprisoned and killed

were among His experiences. He conquered all of that from within and

triumphed for all of us. Please read Isaiah 53.3 and Hebrews 4.15 and

send your comments.

 2) Jesus Christ spanned the highest high and the lowest low in order to

fill the entire spectrum of human existence and experience with His

 presence, thereby redeeming it and also to redeem the whole universe

as the children of God are ultimately manifested, the entire creation will

be transformed. This will be Creation 2.0 where death, decay, despair and

destruction will be abolished. There will be no suffering, pain, illness, grief,

or distress. The whole creation will be set free from entropy. There will be

a new Space and a new earth. Please read Romans 8.17-23 and Revelation

Chapter 22, the last chapter in your Bible. Send your comments please.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

PRAISE BE TO HIM FOREVER AND EVER!
