The Scriptures tell us that Jesus is all in all (Colossians 3:11).Let’s look at that today. Jesus is The Advocate (1 John 2.1), The Anointed (Hebrews 1:9), The Apostle (Hebrews 3:1), The Author (Hebrews 12:2), The Amen (Revelation 3:14), The Alpha (Revelation 1:8), The Adonai (Psalm 135: 5), and The Almighty God (Revelation 1:8). But He is more. He is The Beginning (Revelation 1:8), The Beloved (Matthew 3:17), The Branch (Isaiah 11:1-2), The Bread (John 6:35), The Bridegroom (John 3:28-30), The Bright and Morning Star (Revelation 22:16), The Bishop of our Souls (1 Peter 2:25), The Brightness of the Father’s Glory (Hebrews 1:3). And Jesus is …The Captain (Hebrews 2:10), The Consolation (Luke 2:25-32), The Chief Cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20), The Counselor (Isaiah 9:6), The Covenant (Isaiah 42:6), The Chosen of God (Isaiah 42:1), and The Christ (John 20:31). Also …Jesus is The Daysman (Job 9:33; 1Timothy 2:5), The Deliverer (Psalm 34:17; Psalm 50:15), The Dayspring (Luke 1:78), The Door (John 10:7; John 10:9), and The Desire of all Nations (Haggai 2:7). And there’s yet more! Jesus is the Elect (Isaiah 42:1), The Everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6), Emmanuel (Matthew 1:23), The El Shaddai (Genesis 35:11). Jesus is The Finisher of our Faith (Hebrews 12:2), The Forerunner (Hebrews 6:20), Our Friend (John 15:14-15), The Faithful Witness (Revelation 1:5), The Fountain of Life (Psalm 36:9).But there’s more,Jesus is the God/ Man (Philippians 2:6-11), The Gift of God (John 3:16; Romans 6:23), The Governor (Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 28:18), our Guide (Psalm 23:2-3), and The Glorious Lord (James 2:1). Jesus is our Help (Hebrews 13:6), our Hope (1 Timothy 1:1), The Horn of Salvation (Psalm 18:2), The Head of the Church (Colossians 1:18), The Heir of all things (Hebrews 1:2), The High Priest (Hebrews 2:17; 4:14), The Holy One (Acts 2:27). But don’t go away yet. Jesus is the I Am (John 8:58), our Inheritance (Psalm 16:5-6), The Image of God (Colossians 1:15), The Immortal One (1 Timothy 6:16), The Intercessor (Hebrews 7:25). Jesus is The Judge (2 Corinthians 5:10), The Just and the Justifier (Romans 3:26). Jesus is The King of Israel (John 1:49), The King of Kings (Revelation 19:16) The King Everlasting (Luke 1:33), The King of Glory (Psalm 24:7-8), The King of Righteousness and of Peace (Hebrews 7:2). Jesus is The Life (John 14:6), The Light (John 8:12), The Lion (Revelation 5:5), The Lamb (John 1:29), The Living Stone (1 Peter 2:4), The Lord of Glory (1 Corinthians 2:7-8), The Lord of Lords (Revelation 17:14), The Lord our Righteousness (Jeremiah 23:6). This is enough for any of us to feed upon.  But there’s more!Jesus is The Messenger (Malachi 3:1), The Mediator (1 Timothy2:5), The Master (John 13:13-15), The Messiah (Matthew 1:16), and The Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6).Jesus is The Nazarene (Matthew 2:23).Jesus is The Offspring of David (Revelation 22:16), The Omega (Revelation 1:8), The Offering (Hebrews 9:14), The Omnipresent One (Matthew 18:20), The Omnipotent One (Colossians 1:17 ) and the Omniscient One (Romans 11:33). Jesus is The Passover (1Corinthians 5:7), The Potentate (1 Timothy 6:15-16), The Prophet (Matthew 21:11), The Propitiation (Romans 3:25), The Prince of Life (Acts 3:15), The Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), and The Physician (Luke 4:23).Jesus is The Quickener of those who are dead in trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1).Is there no end to this man Jesus? No there’s not for, Jesus is the Ransom (Matthew 20:28), our Rest (Matthew 11;28), The Root of Jesse (Isaiah 11:10), The Root of David (Revelation 22:16, The Refiner (Malachi 3:2-3), Our Refuge (Psalm 62:8), The Resurrection (John 11:25), The Redeemer (Isaiah 44:6), The Rock (Psalm 18:2). Jesus is The Stone (1 Peter 2:6), The Shepherd (John 10:11), The Son of God (Matthew 14:33), The Son of Man (Mark 10:45), The Shield (Genesis 15:1), The Servant (Philippians 2:7), The Seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15; Galatians 4:4), The Surety (Hebrews 7:22), The SAVIOUR (1 John 4:14), The Sinless One (Hebrews 7:26), The Same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Jesus is The Teacher (John 13:13), The Truth (John 14:6) and The Tabernacle (John 1:14). Jesus is The Upholder of all things (Hebrews 1:3).Jesus is The Vine (John 15:1).Jesus is The Word (John 1:1), The Way (John 14:6), The Wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:24; Colossians 2:3), The Wonderful (Isaiah 9:6). Jesus is Yahweh (Colossians 2:9). What more do we need? He is the Saviour from death, the Redeemer from sin’s penalty, power and pleasure. He is the Deliverer from our enemies, our Leader through the wilderness; He Himself is the Way, He is Light in the darkness, He is the Teacher to His people, He is the Shepherd of His flock, He is our Justification, Wisdom, Righteousness, Lord, Master and King. And that’s the Gospel Truth!

CHRIST OUR ONLY AND PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS

" The flesh lusteth against the Spirit." —Galatians 5:17 [KJV] Christian experience fully proves this apostolic truth. Hence the children of God cannot do the things that they would: nor have we any authority from God's word to conclude this lusting ever ceased in any of the saints till they got to glory; none are delivered from it while in the flesh. For, as the renewed soul or spirit loves to enjoy spiritual and heavenly objects, so the flesh, or unrenewed part, lusts after those objects it is naturally conversant with, and from which it derives its happiness.  Here is thy conflict, O Christian. Hence the necessity of thy Lord's command, "Watch always." This is the use of the doctrine. What woeful effects have fulfilling the lusts or desires of the flesh produced in eminent saints! Thou standest by faith, be not high-minded, but fear. The conceptions of lust are the productions of sin.— see James 1:15 . The commission of sin contracts fresh s

God ordained Authority: Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate

Image
The Lesser Magistrate Doctrine  teaches that when the superior or higher ranking civil authority makes unjust/immoral law, policy, or court opinion – the lower or lesser ranking civil authority has both the God-given right  and duty  to refuse obedience to that superior authority; and if necessary, actively resist the superior authority. The doctrine was first formalized by Christian men in Magdeburg, Germany in 1550.  The lesser magistrate doctrine is rooted in the historic Christian doctrine of interposition.  Interposition   is where one steps into the gap – placing themselves in between the oppressor and his intended victim. Interposition can take place verbally or physically.  The law of God is the objective standard to which all men and all governments of men are accountable. If civil authorities make law, policy, or court opinion that is contrary to His law – the lesser magistrates are to interpose and  stop the evil .  America’s founders established this nation as a true federa
