JESUS THE HIGH PRIEST OF OUR PROFESSION (ii)
JESUS GAVE ALL FOR THE BODY, WE ALSO SHOULD.
Phil 2: 6-11 says:
*Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Before a crown of Glory, before the seat of authority in the heavenly places far above all principalities and power, must be a crown of thorns, a cross and death, which is 'the death to self'.
There is no true exaltation without the death to self. Since Jesus' rise to the seat of Glory took him through these stages, we should expect nothing less as imitators of Christ. Jesus, the Son of God offered His sinless life for humanity, in the service of His Father.
Today, there is a clarion call to those of us who 'call on the name of the Lord' to re-evaluate our walk and align them with the precepts of Christ. In the sight of God the Father, we are custodians of the precious gift and ministers of reconciliation – a call to responsible living.
Our value is found in our purpose, the Message we carry, and on the premium the Father has placed on us. Our life isn't measured by the collection of our 'toys' (only the world places value on such things), but we have been called out of the world to lead a dedicated and consecrated life unto Him by discerning the body of Christ which all of us are fitly joined together, growing into an holy temple for God. When we realize our true place in Christ and in God’s agenda, our manner of life will change immediately. More to come.
Selah…
