While thinking and meditating on the Gospels, which IS good news, I saw a unity working through the Gospels, the Acts and the Epistles. In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Our Messiah is recorded in His human life as "JESUS". In the Acts He is seen in power and authority as "CHRIST".In the Epistles(letters)He is revealed to us as "Lord"!!! So, "in JESUS CHRIST our LORD", the revelation sought by all of humankind desiring a Prophet, a Priest, and a King is realized! Jesus the Prophet, Christ the Priest, and the Lord as the King! The Prophet to reveal, the Priest to redeem, and the King to rule...It IS the "GOOD NEWS" the whole world is seeking, JESUS CHRIST our LORD is the answer!!! AMEN...selah.
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
