Shifting from a Self- into a Christ-centred revelation of the Gospel!

Actually …the vicarious Death or Crucifixion of Jesus, followed by His Resurrection, although they are critical points in the process leading from the  the Son of God’s Incarnation into humanity, leading up to the point of His Ascension into Heaven…were all merely steps towards His ultimate Glorification within the Trinity as both the Son of God and the the Son of Man!



It is only when one grows in understanding and appreciates the implications of the Glorification of Jesus as the Son of Man, that your grasp of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, can shift from an immature traditional self- centered interpretation of what Jesus did ‘for me” on the Cross, to a more mature Christ- centered appreciation of what The Trinity accomplished ‘for mankind‘ through the Son of God’s Glorification!

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ  just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,  having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,   to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.”
Ephesians 1:3-6


‘And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was‘.
John 17:5

‘ And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:  I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
John 17:22-24

” But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,  and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”Act 7:55-56

” When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.  For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.  And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:11-13
