Comfort ye my people
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. (Isaiah 40:1)
The new birth is more amazing than the natural birth of man in Adam. One is of the earth, earthly, the other is the supernatural from heaven. The first spiritual breath that the God of heaven breathed into this new creature in Christ; a breath scented with heaven’s glory and the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have been redeemed out of death by death. I have died in Christ. I have gone into the cocoon of His death because of the darkness of my sin, I must die in His death to live in His life. The Adam in me has to be gone forever, and now Christ is my life. My death is upheld by my Lord and Savior for He died on Calvary’s cross for me. My life is upheld by His resurrection. He is alive in heaven, and I am alive in Him. With the first breath in eternity, the Spirit of God fills me with the divine presence; a witness of the complete Godhead. In Christ I am brought into the presence of the Father as a son, adopted by blood. The royal and regal blood of the King of kings, and the Priest after the order of Melchisedec who is God’s dear Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my conquering hero, and the conquering hero for everyone who believes in Him. He has gone into death for me and my sin. He dealt with my sin by taking it out of the way and nailing it to the cross in His own Person. He was my sacrifice, and now, God the Father, sees me in Christ Jesus. He took me as a sinner in Adam with the sin dna and then plunged me into His death to destroy sin in me. By death Adam was done away with and I am no longer linked to him in any way. Now in this life that I live in Christ Jesus, I live by His presence in me. I am supernaturally born of God to walk in newness of life. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20) Amen.
