In ministry we point people to Jesus... To do this we ourselves must be focused on Christ!
...It would also help if we know who Jesus is...
Perfect is a misunderstood word in our culture. In today's culture we take it to mean - without error. There is much more to the definition... Perfect is also Complete, Whole, Lacking Nothing, Fullness...
Do you believe Jesus Lacks Nothing?
Colossians 1:19 says the Fullness of God was in the man Christ Jesus.
This Christ man was made perfect through suffering. (Hebrews 2:10 & 5:8,9) This scripture blows me away. I admit, it kinda messes with my theology. The suffering of Christ on the Cross brought perfection and completion to the Christ man. Not only that, but this...
A Christ without the Cross would be imperfect
and lacking.
and lacking.
You and I are called closer to God... We are to continue this journey...
"until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature {perfect}, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." Ephesians 4:13 As we together, come closer to unity, faith, knowledge... we become more complete. His Fullness over takes our lack.
One of my Favorite Scripture about Christ is Colossians 2:9,10
"For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness."
Not only is Christ complete... We are complete in Him!
We aren't just worshiping a King that lacks nothing... We are worshiping a King that lacks nothing and perfectly meets all our needs.
