The Apostolic Note

Case #3

Recently, on a over seas trip, I experienced the true meaning of submission, through the faith of one young child. As this small boy with his wide smile and slightly red eyes from a single tear, that sat on the side of his dirty innocent face, looked at me and said the most powerful five words any one person in all humanity could ever say.  He said with joy! “ I want to Know Jesus”

In the confusion of the crowd he found his way to me and spoke these critical and deeply penetrating words “ I want to know Jesus”. In my soul I Knew that this precious life ascertained the internal origin of Salvation, Jesus. I could read it in his face, see it in his outreached frail arms, and hear it in the tone of those musical word that so pleased God and my spirit, “ I want to know Jesus”.  Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! The force behind his name, the love we experienced through his passion, and the inescapable divinity and absolute humanity that demands all existence to reference his authority, was identified by the submission of one small child. (2^ndCorinthians.5:19) States “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself” God in his humanity, did what humanity needed the most, Salvation! and without the blood of Christ Jesus There is no power to free mankind from sin, death and hell. God did not compromise His holiness nor justice, when He became the visible expression of His Word, Jesus. Jesus is the power of God, and he is infinite in Power, Presence and Knowledge and there is no name above him. “God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father”(Philippians.2:9-11). We must keep in mind that Jesus is at the right hand of the Father(Mark.16:19; Acts.5:31). We must also keep in mind that God doesn't have formative part making Him anthropomorphic in character, meaning that God is Spirit and as Spirit doesn’t have hands, therefore putting Jesus in absolute authority. At the right hand of God is symbolic and not physical in its representation of Power. This simply presents, the preeminence of the one God, Jesus. This is what those five blissful word mean, this is what a young child’s cry to be saved was all about, this is the definition of the oneness submission of faith, the Apostolic call to the lost and the power of One God that manifest Himself one time to save one little boy and all humanity. This is the reasoning of our faith  A-Man
