The LORD our Passover

Continuing with May 17th indexing:

Next is Colossians 3 verse 1 through 4 which says this; “If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God (this is the seat of Power and Authority). Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For you are dead (separated from the things of this world and the earthy), and your life is hid with Christ In God. When Christ, Who is our Life, shall appear, then shall we also appear with Him in glory.”

To this Ephesians has this to say in chapter 1, (which also contains a prayer which has been honored by God for almost 2000 years now) beginning at verse 15 through chapter 2 and the end of verse 10; “Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love of all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power (This is His Grace in action within our very heart), Which He (God the Father of all Life) wrought In Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And has put all under His feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the Church, which is His Body, the fullness of Him that fills all in all. (This is not by any stretch the worlds churches, they do not measure up to this Churches standards.*) you has He quickened (made alive in the resurrection of His Son within our souls), who were (once) dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past we walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation (life style or manor of living) in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loves us, even when we were dead in sins (separation), has quickened us together with Christ, (by [In] Grace you are saved [put into God's Salvation, healed with a whole new heart];) And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places In Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His Grace In His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by (through) Grace are you saved (rescued from grave danger and destruction and thereby began the restoring to wholeness) through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of (mans or religious) works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created In Christ Jesus (look at Gen. 1:26-27, 2:7, 21-23) to good works, which God had before ordained that we should walk in them.”
*Why is this so? Because they (of the worlds religion) being a covert tool of Satan hold the peoples of the earthy and worldly in delusion, under a falsehood of deceit and great deception. It proclaims a mixed or blended gospel which has the sound and appearance of truth but there is no Truth in it or them.
