The Daily Word of Righteousness

Two Beginnings, #12

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (John 14:2)

The Logos has become flesh. Because He has become flesh He is Heir of all that God has spoken concerning man.

Now we humans are able to relate to God in a manner that would have been impossible if the Logos had not become a man.

The Logos is the eternal dwelling place of the Father. The Logos is the Father's eternal House. In order for there to be additional rooms in the Father's House the Logos would have to become human.

The mystery of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is that Christ (the Logos) is not only with us but in us. The mystery is that in the Father's House, which is Christ, there are many dwelling places. The Lord Jesus as a Human Being went to the cross, then descended into Hell, and then rose into Heaven to the very throne of God, in order that a place might be prepared in God and in our personality for us to dwell as part of the abiding of God in His House.

The Kingdom of God is God in Christ in the saints governing the creation of God.

One problem remains. The wrath of God hovers over the creation—both the spiritual creation and the physical creation. Angels and men have broken the laws of God. The soul that sins shall die. There is no altering of the Divine law.

God cannot proceed with His marvelous plan until an atonement has been made for sin.

No atonement has been provided for the fallen lords. The Lake of Fire is the only preparation that has been made for the devil and his angels.

But man, the race destined to govern the creation of God, can be redeemed under the Law by a near kinsman. Our near kinsman, the Son of Man, has come, ready to redeem all who will accept the Virtue of His shed blood.

Atonement for sin can be made only by blood. In order to redeem fallen mankind the blood of a perfect sin-offering had to be shed—the innocent on behalf of the guilty.

The Logos Himself, Christ, the Son of God, volunteered to be the Sin-offering for His brothers, for the children of Adam.

The blood of atonement is shed; the first creation has been finished.

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. (John 19:30)

"It is finished."

What has been finished? The entire first creation, the product of the first beginning: the spiritual and physical environments and the spiritual and physical creatures. All have been finished and all must be made new (saved) in Christ.

That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: (Ephesians 1:10)

To be continued.
