GOD AND SINNERS RECONCILED
GOD AND SINNERS RECONCILED
We pray that you may be invigorated and strengthened with all power
according to the might of His glory, to exercise all kinds of endurance,
patience and perseverance with joy.
Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and made us fit to share
the portion which is the inheritance of the saints (God’s holy people) in
the Light.
The Father has delivered and has drawn us to Himself out of the control
and dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the
Son of His love,
In Whom we have our redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of
our sins.
Now He is the exact likeness of the unseen God (the visible representation
of the invisible); He is the firstborn of all creation.
For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on the earth,
things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or
authorities; all things were created and exist through Him and inHim
and for Him.And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all
things are held together.
He is also the head of His body, the church; seeing He is the Beginning,
the Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything might
occupy the chief place.
For it has pleased the Father that all the divine fullness (the sum total
of the divine perfection, powers and attributes) should dwell in (Jesus
Christ) permanently.
And God purposed that through Him (the Son) all things should be
completely reconciled back to Himself, whether on earth or in heaven,
as through Him, made peace by means of the blood of His cross.
And although you at one time were estranged and alienated from Him
and were of hostile attitude of mind in your wicked activities,
Yet know has (Christ, the Messiah) reconciled (you to God) in the body
of His flesh through death, in order to present you holy and faultless and
irreproachable in His (the Father’s) presence.
(Colossians 1.11-22).
POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE
1) Jesus Christ is the exact likeness and visible representation of our
Father in heaven. Jesus Christ told Philip that seeing Him is seeing the
Father. (John 14.9). He existed before anything was created and everything
was made by, through and for Him. He holds everything together.
He is the head of the church, the Firstborn of all creation and the Firstborn
from the dead. Jesus Christ has all divine fullness, perfection, majesty,power
given Him permanently by the Father.
2) Jesus Christ reconciled us by His blood in order to present us holy and
beyond reproach in His Father’s presence.
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
