This is my desire

“And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment, that ye may approve things that are excellent, that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.”  (Philippians 1:9 & 10)

Beautiful words

“For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine, and all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them” (St (John 17:8)

Beautiful words of love that speak peace to my heart.

Christ died for all of us

I was reading in Ephesians 2 where Paul is teaching the saints about accepting the Gentiles.  Paul says, “Now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us, having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances, for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross having slain the enmity thereby… for through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.” (Ephesians 2:12- 18)

Long story short Christ died for all of us. He is our advocate for the Father that all may return and be one with the Father even as Christ and the Father are one.
