In the beginning was the Word

Redemption through our SAVIOR'S BLOOD- truth!

By HIM ALL THINGS WERE CREATED- truth!

PEACE through the BLOOD of the cross- truth!

Reconcile ALL THINGS unto Him - truth!

Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 

Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 

Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 

Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 

Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 

Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Col 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 

Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Too often people don't comprehend that GOD - the Son- had a hand in CREATION.

People read GOD created, and believe instantly that GOD the Father alone did the creating.

This is the truth-- Eph 3:9  And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ

Jesus was THERE.   God with God! God the Father and God the declared Son.

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh 1:2  The same was in the beginning with God.

Joh 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

The WORD was WITH GOD.

The WORD WAS GOD.

Jesus was with GOD - God with God through the entire OLD TESTAMENT!  Jesus wasn't a nameless spirit put into flesh and called the Son of God.  Jesus was GOD with GOD, Jesus has been from everlasting to everlasting just like the FATHER.

Psa_2:7  I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Zec_6:13  Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

The counsel of peace shall be BETWEEN THEM BOTH.

A DECREE was DECLARED- and when that decree was declared ONLY then did the designation of Father and Son come into being.  They agreed.  Father and Son, neither one greater than the other, both in agreement in all things.   Does anyone truly believe the SON is a lesser God than the FATHER?  That the HOLY SPIRIT is still lesser than God the Father, and God the Son?   They are equal.

Our Savior- GOD- divested Himself of His power to take on flesh! Our Savior emptied Himself to take on flesh. And when He did that, He put Himself in God's hands, trusting in Him as we are to trust in Him, as our Father.

Our Creators our Redeemers, our Keepers- our Gods!

Please, please Father, bless us and keep us in YOU. Forgive us, redeem us through the power of Your Son! Please.

In the name of Jesus Christ our LORD! Now and FOREVER! Amen.
