Jesus Christ Is "The Great I Am"

Jesus Christ Is "The Great I Am"

I am, That I am,
I am, What I am,
I am, Who I am, and
I am, All that I am
Which is the inevitable Divine, and I alone "Is", "Was", and "To Come" the Almighty.

The Lord thy God is self-existing.  He is eternal, forever, and unchangeable.  He is incomprehensible, and unsearchable.  He is the beginning, the ending, and the in between.  The "I AM" of the Lord Jesus Christ, consists its meaning to, there is none other beside "Me".  I am all that there is!  I am that I am, and I will be that I will be, because, I am because I am!  What powerful words, from a powerful Almighty God!  "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." (John 8:58).  The very same words that were made known unto Moses, are the the very same whom thus appeared in the physical as Jesus Christ.  For, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." (Hebrews 13:8).  He is the Great I am God incarnate, and the God whom manifested himself in the flesh and, thus the word became living all the way from the beginning.  "And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Issac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them." (Exodus 6:3).  "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was and which is to come, the Almighty." (Revelation 1:8).  

"Thus said the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of host; I am the first and I am the last; beside me there is no God." (Isaiah 44:6).  Jesus is the bread of life.  "And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." (John 6:35).  Jesus is the bread of life from heaven.  "The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven." (John 6:41).  Jesus is the living bread.  "I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man shall eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which will give for the life of the world." (John 6:51).  Jesus is the light of the world.  "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." ( John 8:12).  Jesus bears witness of himself.  "I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me." (John 8:18).  Jesus is the door of the sheep.  "Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep." (John 10:7).  "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved and shall go in and out, and find pasture." (John 10:9).  Jesus is the good shepherd.  "I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine." (John 10:14).  Jesus is the only way. 

Jesus is the resurrection and the life.  "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:" (John 11:25).  Jesus is the true vine.  "I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman." (John 15:1).  "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." (John 15:5).  I shall be, what I shall be for there is none other greater than me, and I Am the one who is soon to return.  The almighty God sits so high you can't go over him, so low you can't go under him, and so wide you can't go around him.  You must come in at the door to Jesus Christ.  He is indefinite, His love is infinite, and His kingdom is eternal!  He is the "Great I Am", and where He is, so I shall be!  To God be the glory!!!

God Is Unsearchable, Incomprehensible, and Unfathomable

God Is Unsearchable, Incomprehensible and Unfathomable

"The infinity of God is not mysterious, it is only unfathomable; not concealed, but incomprehensible; it is a clear infinity, the darkness of the pure unsearchable sea." - John Ruskin

Who can research, whom that is unsearchable?  Who can comprehend, whom that is incomprehensible?  Who can apprehend, whom that is unfathomable?  "Canst thou by searching find out God?  canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea."  - (Job 11:7).  "And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under the heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith." - (Ecclesiastes 1:13).  "Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?" (Ecclesiastes 7:13).  "Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number." - (Job 5:9).  Because, 

 "Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it." - (Ecclesiastes 8:17).  "As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all." - (Ecclesiastes 11:5).  "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." (John 3:6).  "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." (John 3:8).  "All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me." - (Ecclesiastes 7:23).  "When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;" - (Psalms 73:16)

For the works of the Lord is not measurable, encyclopedic words cannot capture, and the wise cannot discern all what He has done.  His name shall be glorified, His wonders shall be pondered, and His goodness shall be honored throughout the end of time!!!  To God be the glory!  Ꭿℳℰℕ!

Knowing, and Having Christ Above All, Over All, More Than Anything Else

Knowing, and Having Christ Above All, Over All, More Than Anything Else

"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable  explanation is that I was made for another world." - C.S. Lewis

"Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon the earth that I desire beside thee." (Psalms 73:25).  "Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;" (Philippians 3:8-10).  All worldly enjoyments, and outward privileges will soon be gone away with this ever perishing world.  But the love, and the gospel of Jesus Christ will be for an eternity!  What a joy to know that this world is not it!  We have so much more to look forward to than this!  There is a greater coming!  There is the blessed hope to all those whom believe in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ!  That He is the Son of God, and the only true way to be with the Father in heaven.   The sacrifices that you make to give it all up for the sake of Christ, are the ones that He delights in the most.  He feels your pain, He sees your struggles, and He counts your tears.  He will provide a much more better way than you can ever imagine!  He unconditionally loves you that much!  Are you willing to sacrifice, and suffer all to the one whom gave His all, including His life, for you?  No need to worry about things, because God will take care of all who diligently seek Him.  God will bless you more abundantly, so that you may help others along your journey.  God will supply all your needs, your wants, and grant you your desires if you delight in Him!  "But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God." (Acts 20:24).

  

"Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweith me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgement, and righteousness in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord." - (Jeremiah 9:23-24). 

And "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:" (2 Peter 1:3).  May the love of God fill your hearts, peace be unto you within your homesteads, and the joy of the Lord to lighten your paths.  To God be the glory!!!

The Perfect Work of Patience

The Perfect Work of Patience

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith," (Galatians 5:22).

The purpose of tests in our lives is to perfect the endurance, or perseverance of patience.  And, with the perfecting of patience, there is an increase of our faith.  Our faith is in Jesus Christ, who is the author, and finisher of our faith.  But, "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:2).  To be the new creature in Christ, you must allow Him to work with you, through you, and in you.  "But let patience have her perfect work, that ye maybe perfect, and entire, wanting noting." (James 1:4).  The perfect work that God is to bring about, and mature within you, until the day of Jesus Christ.  It is not by your own hands that this work is done, but the Lord's.  "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands." (Psalms 138:8).  And, "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" (Philippians 1:6).  "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:12).  And, "Let us there fore, as many as be perfect be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you." (Philippians 3:15).  

Once patience has been perfected, ye shall be entire, wanting nothing, because all is fulfilled in Christ Jesus.  He will be all that you ever want and need, because He is the supplier, and rewarder to all those whom seek Him!  "The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing." (Psalms 34:10).  Because, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." (Psalms 23:1).  There is no need to worry, or fear anything.  God is going to finish, what He started.

     

So, be "Patient", and allow God to do that "Perfect Work" so, that you "Want Nothing."  All things, and everything is by Him.  To God be the glory!!!  Ꭿℳℰℕ!
