“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Ezekiel 11: 23 And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain, which is on the east side of the city.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah 

We, the Bride, the church should rise up as a glorious church

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that we, the bride, the church should be filled with all God’s fullness by Christ and if we should attain the fullness first, we must be made perfect.  What that completeness signifies is that Hebrews 7: 19 – 28 for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath 

(for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not relent, ‘You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek’”),

by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.

Also, there were many priests because they were prevented by death from continuing. 

But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. 

Therefore, He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; 

who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. 

For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.

When we meditate upon this, the law did not make anything perfect, the hope in bringing of a better hope is making it perfect. By that hope, we are drawing near to God. The one bringing better hope is our Lord Jesus Christ. This is because according to the order of Melchizedek, he is the priest forever and has an unchangeable priesthood. He has sworn an oath that he will not relent. He is the one with the better hope. This is because he is the one who continues forever.

For the law appoints as high priests’ men who have weakness. They are not able to continue forever. But after the law, the word of the oath appoints the Son who has been perfected forever. As perfected, what we must do is that Hebrews 10: 9 – 17 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 

By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 

But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 

from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 

For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,

“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 

then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

According to the above-mentioned verses, for by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. Therefore, our Lord Jesus Christ is telling in Matthew 5: 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

My dear people, each one of us must be perfect. That is, only after we become perfect, we can attain fullness.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
