Jesus reconciled all things to Himself by shedding His blood and dying on the cross.
Why? Because His whole purpose in creation was for us to experience His life in intimate personal relationship with Him.
He had to do it for His own pleasure. He had to do it for our pleasure. We are His pleasure and He ought to be ours.
When He is our pleasure, the windows of heaven open and we enter into His glory and we see it and hear it and feel it.
This is our existence in the NewBirth whereby we become One with His HolySpirit who opens up to us the power of His Word.
You were not created to trudge, you were created to fly.
In the awareness of whom Christ has called us we understand that we are Sons, we are priests, we are above, we are in Him and He is in us such that there is no difference.
He is our life and we are extensions of Himself.
