The Church
Greetings to all the churches of the true and living God, in Jesus’ name.
After God had completed His creation of the heaven and the earth and all that is in them, He observed it and “It was very good” (Genesis 1:31 KJ Lite). We too must be able to survey our work and see it as very good. And, Jesus Christ, when He had completed the work His Father gave him to do, said, “I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do” (John 17:4 KJVLite).
Is the church of today the church established on a rock that God promised to build and bless? Is the church today the church for which Christ who was guiltless, but found guilty, beaten, mocked betrayed, delivered up according to the will of God, crucified on the cross where He bled and died for the sins of all mankind? Is the church easily recognised as that church spoken of by Jesus Christ the son of God?
He was buried, rose up from the grave after three days to persistently pursue the redemptive work of God. Is this not the Christ sent by God after taking off his crown and royal robe, who was robed in human flesh in the likeness of mortal man with a redemptive Word to heal and deliver? Is this Jesus not the Christ who “while we were yet sinners Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8) who through the love of God, was willing to come into a dark fallen world to bring us into the light of God? We must be able to say like Jesus said, “it is finished.” I Have done all the work the Father has asked me to do. Hallelujah and Amen.
