Salvation
Dear Editor,
Lk 2:40-52, RSV, address Jesus Christ’s growth in wisdom, favor, & stature with God & man that continued on Golgotha when God the Father glorified God the Son-Jn 17:1- with the revelation that the collapse of the universe was imminent-Jn 5:17-20, Mt 24:36!
God the Son glorified God the Father-Jn 17:1-with His wailing prayer of spirit, life, & power-Mt 27:45-46, Jn 6:63-proliferating the Son of man’s love for God the Father-Jn 8:28-29, 10:17-18, Rom 3:3-4-His own holiness-Mt 3:15, Jn 1:29, Lk 23:34-& His love for humanity-Mt 3:15, Jn 3:15-by saving the world-I Jn 4:14-18, sustaining the universe-Heb 1:3, & revealing God the Father & God the Son’s love for the world-Jn 3:16, 4:19-26, & 17:19-26, to this very moment!
As such, Jesus Christ fulfilled Jn 5:27 & Mt 11:27 by becoming in thirty-three years & nine months the Alpha & Omega incarnate-Jn 6:51, 19:30, Lk 23:45-46-ultimately certifying & proliferating the New Creation-Lk 24:39-43-to the chagrin of Satan-Job 2:4-5, Jn 1:4-5-while answering His own question in Mt 16:13, “Who do men say the Son of man is?” & fulfilling His prophecies in Mt 16:21, 28, & 24:34!
