Who and What It's All About

"In all wisdom and insight He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fulness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things upon the earth."

Ephesians 1:8-10

"For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things have been created by Him and for Him.  And He is before all things and in Him all things hold together.  He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the first-born from the dead; so that He Himself might come to have first place in everything." 

 Colossians 1:16-18

"For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.  
To Him be the glory forever.  
Amen."

Romans 11:36

"Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever.  Amen."

Jude 24, 25


"Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power 
and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing."  


Revelation 5:12

The Bible is God's revelation to us.  It is the story of the Lord Jesus Christ.  It gives us God the Father's plan to ultimately end all things with Jesus Christ being supreme in all things.  Each one of us is written into the story of Jesus.  The one who's life is spent drawing close and learning who Jesus is and living in service and honor and exaltation of Him as Lord and King lives not the easiest life, but it is the hope-filled, joyful life.  With Jesus in us, glory is our future.  Every knee will bow to Jesus Christ.  There is great joy in the willing bow.  There will be no joy in the forced bow.  Life was, is, and always will be, about Jesus.  I hope Jesus is your life!


"The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him.  For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us." 


Romans 8:16-18
