The Lord Jesus Christ death was not simply an unpleasant but necessary prelude to His resurrection; on the contrary, it was just as important as His resurrection, with immediate consequences for all Christians.

 Through the Lord Jesus Christ resurrection, Christians had the promise to beat or overcome death just as He had. We have a shift towards a sense of the Lord Jesus Christ not simply as a human being who died and was raised to exaltation, but as a being closely associated with God from the beginning of time who came down to earth before returning to his original place by God's side. We can call it a belief incarnate, that is, made flesh. ( fully human and fully God ) - John 1:1-4,14 -

The early Christians were convinced that all of this was in line with historic Judaism. Everything that the Lord Jesus Christ did was fulfilled, the Jewish Scriptures. Thus, in the first sentence of his letter to the Romans, Saint Paul insists that the Christian message was 'promised' beforehand through [God's] prophets in the holy Scriptures; He told the Corinthians that 'Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures. - Luke 24:25-27 -

Thus, Christianity was deeply rooted in Judaism, and Christian believed fervently in the unity of God's saving actions throughout history, beginning with Abraham and culminating in the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore Christianity was fulfilled Judaism, and Judaism was, as it were, Christianity waiting to happen. The Universal Christian Church was the 'new Israel' and the heir to the promises of God made to Abraham and the Jews in the Old Testament. - Romans 9:6-8 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
