Summing It All Up


1 Peter 1:21

Through him you have come to trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are set on God.

The purpose of Jesus Christ is to bring us back to a trusting relationship with our God in heaven.  The proof of Jesus’ place and authority to carry out this work comes in two works from God.  The first of these works is to raise Jesus from the dead to a new life.  The second was to lift Jesus up from this earth to the Throne of Glory, the Ruler of Heaven.  “I and my Father are one” Jesus says in the Gospel of John.  What that means for us is that we come into the trust of God that Jesus lays out for us, taking into account His miraculous rising from the dead and he ascension to the Throne of heaven.  This shall bring us to have our belief set on God and our hope for what is to come also set on God.

Jesus returns us to right relationship with God.  God demonstrates God’s power by raising Jesus from death and to the Throne on High.  It is simply to open the way of our belief in God once more.
