THE CHRIST

THE CHRIST
Dear One,
   When Jesus asked Peter who he thought Jesus was, Peter said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God."  Peter didn't say that He was Jesus, the son of Mary and Joseph.  He said that He was "the Christ," the anointed One, the overcoming One, the reigning One over all the works of evil.  He can only be the Christ if he is My Son.
   When Isaiah prophesied the coming of My Son into the world, he declared all of the assigned duties that My Son would have in the earth, as ordained by Me.  Isaiah said that My Son would bear your grief's, carry your sorrows, but He would not deem Himself stricken and smitten by Me and afflicted by Me. So Jesus, the Christ, is still available to bear your grief's and carry your sorrows.(Isaiah 53:4)  He also told you to bear the burdens of others and that will fulfill the ministry of the Christ, the Overcoming One.
   To bear the burdens of others means that you bear up under the mistakes, the misdeeds, the bitterness, the strife, the grudges, the condemnation, the accusations, the unbelief and the religious errors of others. (Galatians 6:2)  You are called Christ-ians, or Christ ones, so you are called to bear up under the burdensome imperfections of others and to bear the grief's and carry the sorrows of others, just like He does for you.
    Isaiah also prophesied that the Christ would be wounded for your transgressions, bruised for your iniquities, would be chastised for your peace, and by His stripes that He endured that you would be healed. (Isaiah 53:5)  Every wound that He received in His sacrifice for you made it possible for your transgressions from all laws, rules and regulations to be erased, completely eradicated.  Every bruise that He suffered was payment for your obedience to the temptations of the devil.  He blotted out the requirements for your punishment for engaging in the devil's deeds, making them null and void.  The sentence by the devil of killing you was satisfied by the Christ because He died for your imperfections. The stripes that He received from beatings were endured so that you would be healed of every physical disease, every malady, every generational curse, every mental disease, every sickness and everything that destroys your body, the temple of My Holy Spirit. 
    In addition to those momentous accomplishments for you by Jesus, the Christ, He was chastised, ridiculed and criticized so that you would have the peace that comes from having My Spirit live inside of you, supernaturally giving you My peace.  He made it possible for you to refuse the accusations of the devil which brings fear to your mind.  He gave you the power of My Holy Spirit to bring peace into the world which is replete with strife, wars and disagreements. He let the chastisements, words of ridicule and criticisms roll off of him like they were never said.  He was deaf to negative accusations hurled at Him. 
     My children still engage willingly in disputes, ridiculing others, criticizing others and chastising others who have differing beliefs, in which you also engaged at one time. My desire for you as Christ-ians, Christ-ones, is that you bring peace to every discussion, every disagreement, every situation involving strife, every war between individuals, your families, groups, organizations, states and nations.  Jesus was chastised for that peace.  If you are a Christ-one you will bring peace to every small, medium and large war between humans.  Jesus endured chastisement for your ability to bring peace to the earth, as He did. He is the Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
     When you are born of My Spirit and baptized with My Spirit, you are My ambassador of love, peace, reconciliation, healing, forgiveness, mercy, goodness, kindness, patience and joy in the earth.  Become My image in the earth by becoming intimately acquainted with Me so that you will mirror My character in your life and in the earth, reconciling all people to Me.(II Corinthians 5:18-21)
    Your Loving Father
