What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where He was before? It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the Words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray Him. And He said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My Father. From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the Words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. (Joh 6:62-69)
The Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, Jesus Christ, has the Words of life because He is the Word made flesh. He spoke Truth, though much was hard to hear at the time, because the Cross was not yet understood. He lived a sinless life, and always did the will of the Father, and accomplished every thing He was sent to do. Some wanted the conquering King Messiah they believed would come, and He will return one day to rule and reign in His Kingdom, but this was not the time. The first time He came, He came as the suffering servant, though always GOD, that put on flesh and dwelt among us. He came to give His life a ransom for many, and put to death the flesh for our sIn.
He draws men to Himself through the Cross, which is foolishness to them that perish, and He will lose none that come to Him in true repentance and faith, believing that His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary is sufficient to pay their sIn debt and reconcile all who believe to GOD. He is the only Way to the Father, and we must surrender to Him on His terms and be born again in order to even see the Kingdom of GOD.
For those of us who are in Him, and He in us, we are His ambassadors, and are commanded and commissioned to do His work and will in this lost and dying world. We are to minister to those around us who are hurting and in need. We are to disciple one another in love and in His Word that we may all grow in Christ through His Word into the full measure of Christ, conformed to His image, and meet for the Masters use. We are to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Word of GOD with us and proclaim the Good News to all who will hear and believe that they might have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
