Key Verse: "But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that the extraordinary power belongs to God and not to us" (2 Corinthians 2:7).
In the Gospel of Christ, the Paschal Mystery is the new, Holy Spirit based passover. It is God's liberation of all mankind from slavery to sin, and bondage of the mind of the flesh, through the mind of the spirit (Romans 8:1-11). The Paschal Mystery is mankind, individually and collectively, passing over into the new and glorified life with the Godhead, through the incarnation, reign and manifestation of Christ (Logos, ADONAI, JEHOVAH), in the mind of the spirit, while living in our human flesh, here on earth. The Paschal Mystery is Christ-centered, Holy Spirit-based believers, in all traditions, religions, cultures, ethnic and secular groups becoming human epistles, as they follow Jesus Christ as Messiah, in living the Paschal Mystery, throughout our planet, earth (Mark 8:34-38).
In his life, passion, death, resurrection, glorification and ascension, Jesus Christ as Son of Man and Messiah revealed, lived and fully manifested the Paschal Mystery, as one of us. As the fully incarnate Christ, the Son of God, Jesus Christ modeled the fulfillment of God's universal law and the prophets, found in all traditions, religions, cultures, ethnic and secular groups, while in human flesh. As mankind's universal Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life of mankind living the Paschal Mystery, in the mind of the spirit, here on earth (Psalm 23:1-6, John 14:6-7, Colossians 1:24-29).
In the Gospel, Christ is the image and likeness of God, in the spiritual body of Jesus Christ and all persons. Christ is the Son, begotten only of God. Down through the ages and generations, the mystery, presence and riches of the glory of Christ, have been hidden from mankind by the mind of the flesh. The apostle Paul followed Jesus Christ in calling the mind of the flesh Satan, the Devil, the Man of Lawlessness, the prince of this world, the Adversary and the father of lies (Mark 8:33, John 8:43-44, Romans 8:1-11, 2 Corinthians 4:3, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).
Through the spiritual blindness, spiritual deafness, spiritual sleep and spiritual death of the mind of the flesh, the truth of the Gospel of Christ, continues to be veiled from unbelievers and believers alike. As within Jesus Christ's Jewish religion, lost sheep being led by false shepherds continue to be created by the mind of the flesh, within witnessing faith communities in all traditions, religions, cultures, ethnic and secular groups. Satan continues to block mankind's deliverance from bondage and slavery to sin. Passing over into the new life in Christ, in the mind of the spirit, continues to be delayed, stifled and blocked by the mind of the flesh (Mark 8:33, 2 Corinthians 4:4).
In the begetting power of the Holy Spirit and the mind of the Spirit, Jesus Christ revealed, proclaimed and manifested the full incarnation of the Godhead through Christ, the begotten Image of God in human flesh, here on earth (Luke 4:16-21, John 10:29-30, Colossians 2:9). As a slave for Jesus' sake, the apostle Paul discerned and proclaimed the truth and mystery of Christ crucified and Christ resurrected in all human flesh, as revealed in Jesus Christ as Messiah (Colossians 1:24-29). Through faith, repentance, humility and obedience, believers in all traditions, religions, cultures, ethnic and secular group can also follow Jesus Christ as human epistles, in living the Paschal Mystery, in the mind of the spirit. As slaves for Jesus' sake, Christ-centered, Holy Spirit based believers are now being called by the Godhead, to more effectively facilitate and further establish the kingdom of God and kingdom living here on earth, in the mind of the spirit (2 Corinthians 4:5).
Christ (Logos, ADOMAI, JEHOVAH) is the changeless, invisible and eternal Son, begotten only of God. Christ is mankind's universal, indwelling Light, Lord, Master and Savior, in Jesus Christ and all persons (Genesis 1:26-27, John 3:16-21, Acts 17:28). Like all human beings who have lived since Jesus Christ's crucifixion, death, resurrection and ascension, the apostle Paul never met Jesus Christ physically. In the mind of the spirit, on the road to Damascus, the apostle Paul however, had an awesome encounter with the risen Christ, the Son begotten only of God, who became fully incarnate and manifested in Jesus Christ. Paul's soul, heart, mind, emotions, relationships and life were radically transformed, through Christ and the Holy Spirit, within the fellowship of the Christ-centered, Holy Spirit based witnessing paschal faith communities, which he established (2 Corinthians 4:6).
Throughout his ministry among us, Jesus Christ as the Son of Man, made it clear that the he was in every way, a clay jar like every human being. Jesus Christ also established the fact that the extraordinary presence and power in his life belonged to the Godhead and not to himself (John 5:19, 30). Jesus' power to live the Paschal mystery came directly from the Godhead. The Godhead dwelt in Jesus Christ like DC rather than AC current (John 10:30, 2 Corinthians 4:7).
As a living human epistle within your unique witnessing paschal faith community, is Christ becoming more fully incarnate and more fully manifested in your life? Are you striving in the mind of the spirit, to more fully align your soul, your mind, your heart, your emotions, your relationship and your life, in harmony with the grace, agape love and truth, found in the mind, heart, intentions, relationships and life of Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:1-5)? Are you seeking, discerning, worshipping and serving, Christ, the mysterious Son of God within you, within Jesus Christ, and within all persons (Genesis 1:26-27, Colossians 1:26-27)? Are you steadfastly following Jesus Christ and the apostle Paul, as a human epistle, in living the Paschal Mystery, in the mind of the spirit?
