Jesus Christ, From Eternity To Eternity. Part [4] 07/05/2026 (Morning thought)

Matthew 8: 28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

Matthew 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, what have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?…. This is very bad news for the prince of darkness, for if you have a beginning, you will also have an end, a fact which devils are forced to acknowledge, even when they do so under duress. This can be observed whenever they mention their final demise in the not too-distant future.

Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you having great wrath because he knows that he hath but a short time…. The apostle Paul goes on to issue a warning to the Christian, to be on the alert for agents who might try to bring in private interpretations pertaining to the eternal nature of Christ.

This is one of the points on which there will be a departure from the faith, so watch out!… Colossians 2: 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.

Isaiah 40:25 To whom then will you liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one fails.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Jesus Christ, From Eternity To Eternity. Part [3] 07/05/2026 (Evening thought)

Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.

There are fundamental truths that must first be confirmed from the Bible, so that our faith would rest securely upon inspiration alone, and not on any private interpretation. There never was a time in the distant past when the Jesus of the Bible was not in existence. Jesus wasn’t created, He did not have a beginning point, and He did not get eternal life from the Father. All of these perspectives point to one fundamental error, that is, that Jesus is a created being, which He is not.

These theories contradict the plainest passages of Scripture, and when observed closely, they seek to upend the Christian’s hope of immortal life, the very promise upon which our faith is founded. That is why, in our first verses, John sets the record straight, by declaring that eternal life is to be found in Christ, not because it was given to Him at some point in time by The Father, but because it has been His and will always be His, as a member of The God- head.

When it mentions principalities and powers, it also includes the prince of darkness, and all the angels that fell with him. In the book of Ephesians, chapter 6, they are referred to as being principalities, and powers, thus, they are also included in the profound statement which says: “All things were created by Him.”… Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Ephesians 6: 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
