JESUS CHRIST IS ALL THAT THE GODHEAD IS

By A. W. Tozer
 

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made
unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification,
and redemption.
1 Corinthians 1:30

   I advise you not to listen to those who spend their time
demeaning the person of Christ.

   I advise you to look beyond the cloudiness of modern
terms used by those who themselves are not sure who
Jesus Christ was in reality.

   You cannot trust the man who can only say, "I believe
that God revealed Himself through Christ." Find out
what he really believes about the person of the incarnate
Son of God!

   You cannot trust the man who will only say that Christ
reflected more of God than other men do. Neither can you
trust those who teach that Jesus Christ was the supreme
religious genius, having the ability to catch and reflect
more of God than any other man.

   All of these approaches are insults to the Person of
Jesus Christ. He was and is and can never cease to be
God, and when we find Him and know Him, we are back
at the ancient fountain again.

   Christ is all that the Godhead is!

   This is the wonder, the great miracle - that by one
swift, decisive, considered act of faith and prayer, our
souls go back to the ancient fountain of our being, and
we start over again!

    It is in Jesus Christ Himself that we find our source,
our satisfaction. I think this is what John Newton
perceived in the miracle of the new birth, causing him to
sing, "Now rest my long-divided heart, fixed on this
blissful center-rest!"
