My Prose in Christ

I claim no originality for the thoughts in these prose writings. The truth in these prose writings comes from being alone with God in His Word and in prayer and mediating on the greatness of God. For God is the only source for truth and the only source for wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.

As it is written in Proverbs 2:1-6

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; Proverbs 2:1

 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Proverbs 2:2

Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; Proverbs 2:3

If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Proverbs 2:4

Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. Proverbs-Proverbs 2:5

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:6

God, nearly 6,000 years ago, created man out of clay of the ground and breathed into his nostrils God’s breath of life. God created man so He could have fellowship with him. That relationship was broken when Adam disobeyed God and fell into sin, causing both spiritual and physical death to pass upon Adam and all his posterity.

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis 2:16-17

 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. Romans 5:12

God took upon Himself the robe of flesh in the likeness of man, and became the God-Man. He is The Great God Incarnate in The Lord Jesus Christ. God’s love for all of mankind is expressed in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. He laid aside His kingly robes in heaven, and come down to earth to be conceived in a virgins womb by the Holy Ghost and became the only begotten Son of God.

As it is written in Philippians 2:5-9

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:5

Who being in the form God thought  it not it not robbery to be equal with God. Philippians 2:6

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. Philippians 2:7

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 2:8

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name that is above every name. Philippians 2: 9

He was born in the stench of a stable, not in an ivory palace, as the religious leaders were looking for so that they would have positions of power. Instead, He was a foster son of a poor carpenter, and as a lad, He learned to work with his hands. He was born in poverty and was raised in poverty. He became poor that we might become rich in Him. He came to fulfill the Gospel of the Old Testament written by Isaiah the prophet as written in Isaiah chapter 53. The religious leaders were blind to these truths as prophesied by Isaiah, as written in Isaiah Chapter 6

As it is written in Isaiah 53:1-12

Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? Isaiah 53:1

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. Isaiah 53:2

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Isaiah 53:3

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. Isaiah 53:4

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. Isaiah 53:7

He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. Isaiah 53:8

And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Isaiah 53:9

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. Isaiah 53:10

He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Isaiah 53:11

Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

As it is written in Isaiah 6:8-13

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I send me. Isaiah 6:8

And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

Isaiah 6:9

Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Isaiah 6:10

Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, Isaiah 6:11

And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. Isaiah 6:12

But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof. Isaiah 6:13

The religious leaders dogged His heels from the beginning of His brief ministry, yet they could not lay their hands upon Him, for His appointed time had not come. The above passages of Scriptures, as prophesied by Isaiah in Isaiah chapter fifty-three verses one through twelve, and chapter six verses eight through thirteen were fulfilled in the following seven passages of Scripture as recorded in the Gospels of the New Testament. They were blind to the truths of the Gospel of the Old Testment. The religious leaders were part of the tenth that returned from captivity.

As It Is Written In These Seven Passages Of Scriptures

But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet. Matthew. 21:46

And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. Matthew 26:4

And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. Mark 3:6

 And he taught daily in the temple.  But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, Lu 19:47

 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. Lu 22:2

And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. John 7:44

Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. John 10:31

But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet. Matthew. 21:46

And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. Mark 3:6

 And he taught daily in the temple.  But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, Lu 19:47

Even His own did not understand this passage of Scripture, for Isaiah had prophesied they would be blind to the truths of the passage of Scripture of Isaiah 53:1-12. It was not until the Lord Jesus Christ spent forty days and nights alone with them that they fully understood. The book of Acts testifies of that truth. Yet they knew He was sent from Heaven and that He was the Son of the living God according to Scripture. Peter gave this testimony when many of His disciples went back when the Lord Jesus Christ preached the verses in chapter six of the Gospel of John. In this chapter Our Lord Jesus Christ was preaching the following passage of Scripture.

As It Is Written In John 6:56-58

He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. John 6:56

As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. John 6:57

This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. John 6:58
