The fall in the garden
Gave rise to a savior
And the fall of the savior
Gave rise to the Holy Spirit
To a body of people
Who at one time
Were not
But now are
The generation
Of Jesus Christ
++++++
I Peter 2:9-10
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people…which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God…”
Things have a way of
Looking differently
As time passes
But the word of God
Does not change
Just our perception of it
The Word of God
Transcends time
Hebrews 13:8
“Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever.”
My Lord was resting in peace
But when I entered his peace
He woke up
And I was laid to rest
Philippians 4:7
“And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
St. Matthew 11:28
“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Our physical body
Is subject
To the laws of nature
But not so
Our spiritual body
The Spirit is subject only
To the Word of God
Who is the law
Romans 8:2
“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”
Salvation
Through revelation
Is our destination
And by the grace
Of God
We have arrived
I Peter 1:9-10
“Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you.”
I Peter 1:13
“…and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
If you want
To find the truth
Start digging
Because it is
Buried
Underneath
Everything
That exists
I Corinth 3:11
“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
St. John 14:6
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
When the subject
Becomes the object
There is no more desire
The subject has achieved its goal
By becoming what it wanted to be
It was Christ’s desire
To become one
With me
St. John 17:21
“That they all may be one; as thou Father, are in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us…”
Death is powerful
It moves us
The death of one
Moved all of us
From the temporal
To the eternal
From the unholy
To the holy
It shifts our entire
Field of vision
It was not good
That man be alone
He would need
A helpmate
To bring to fruition
What was not
But now is
The generation
Of Jesus Christ
Sin gives rise
To salvation
Genesis 2:18
“It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.”
Art: The Formation of Eve by Ed Suominen
There is only one God
And this is true
Therein lies the
Commonality
Of all humanity
There is only one you
St. John 10:30
“I and my Father are one.”
For the Love of Christ
