Christ, True Lord And King Of All


Scripture reference: Colossians 1:15-23, 'The Supremacy Of Christ'

The historical Jesus' and the Apostle Paul's ministries were about revealing, teaching and realizing the hidden mystery of the supremacy of the indwelling Christ of Faith. They taught that the Christ of Faith, who is the image and likeness of God, in the spiritual body of Jesus Christ and all humankind, existed before creation [John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:26-27].  Through the historical Jesus, the fully incarnate, invisible Christ of Faith was made visible. The historical Jesus revealed what God would be like, when fully incarnate in human flesh [John 4:24].  

The historical Jesus revealed taught and modeled God's way to make the Christ of Faith, the eternal and incarnate Lord and King, in the hearts, minds, experiences, bodies and affairs of all humankind. The Christ of Faith is therefore the true, universal, divine ruler, the image of God, in all religions, races, nations, cultures and ethnic groups [Genesis 1:26-27]. All other elemental spirits, which occupy space and human minds and life are irrelevant since the Christ of Faith is prior and superior [Colossians 1:16-18].  

All religious and secular groups, through repentance, faith and surrender to the lordship and reign of  the indwelling and incarnate, Christ of Faith, are encouraged to join the historical Jesus and the apostle Paul in living the Paschal Mystery. They are invited to steadfastly seek, experience and proclaim the full incarnation and manifestation of the Christ of Faith as God's light, life, love, truth and grace, in and through the spiritual body of all persons.

The Christ of Faith [Logos] is the Son, begotten only of God. The Christ of Faith is the individualized presence, image and likeness of God, within the spiritual body of all humankind. The Christ of Faith gives true coherence, true justice and true peace to all humankind. Through trust in the Christ of Faith and following the historical Jesus in living the Paschal Mystery, all mankind can be reconciled and brought back in harmony with God and one another [Colossians 1:19-23].
