We ought always to be mindful of our Lord who is the head of the body as well as the offering and the offerer of the sacrifice whereby we are reconciled.<p>While the things that Jesus did are often emphasized with some consideration given to what He said, there is not so much attention to what Christ had in mind after we were redeemed by His blood and BornAgain of His Word and Spirit. Without understanding Christ`s expectation for us we are not able to understand what He said and did and why He said and did it.<p>Simply put, Christ Jesus is the FirstFruit of many SonsOfTheHolySpirit. His expectation for us is that we be like Him - not just in Spirit and character but in Word and deed. 1Jn 3:2
