* Jesus Is........... Jacob's Ladder. For every step we gain up the Ladder, we must leave apart of our old selfish nature on the step below. Climbing Jacob's Ladder is going through death and resurrection with Christ.

* Jesus Is....... The Prince Of Peace.

God sends the Prince of His magnificent Heart down to earth to become the Prince of our hearts!

*Jesus Is ----------- God's Heavenly Light, God's Heavenly Love, and God's Heavenly Life, shining forth within our hearts. Heavenly Light consumes darkness, Heavenly Love casts out hate (fear), and Heavenly Life swallows up death!

The history of humanity reveals that mankind has a selfish nature. A selfish nature is full of selfish fear, all kinds of evil inhabits a selfish nature. All humanity has become trapped in selfish fear! All the nations of the earth are motivated by fear.

God's nature is that of pure, perfect, unselfish, sacrificial, love. Jesus was born within the earth with the very same nature that His Father has. He comes forth, to the earth from God's Heart of Love and enters our hearts, to reveal God's nature of unselfish, sacrificial love to mankind. Jesus taught--- Love your neighbor as yourself---Treat others as you wish them to treat you---If someone slaps you, turn the other cheek --- Blessed are the peace makers. His mission was to proclaim that God's nature of unselfish, sacrificial Love, is the only way that leads to, "Peace On Earth Good Will Towards Man "and Eternal Life!

There will be," Peace On Earth Good Will Towards Man," when everyone on earth is willing and able to sacrifice the selfish nature of their flesh for the Unselfish nature of God.

John 12: 32 "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to Myself." How do we lift Christ up? The crucifixion of our selfish nature is lifting Christ up. When Christ is lifted up, within our hearts, Satin and the selfish nature of our flesh are crucified, and as they are crucified we are healed.

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3: 18

" Come! Come! Look at Me for I 'am meek, I' am lowly"- Oh, to see You more is to become more like You."

God's nature of unselfish, sacrificial love, is the greatest power there is- It is the crown of Heaven's glory- It moves mountains of selfish fear and hate.

God demonstrates His great love to mankind both in an outward natural way and in the inward spiritual way.

----- Christ's death and resurrection, 2000 years ago out side the walls of Jerusalem, was God's greatest outward demonstration of His unselfish, sacrificial love towards mankind.

------ Christ's death and resurrection, within man's earthly hearts, is God's greatest inward demonstration of His unselfish, sacrificial love towards mankind

All the mysteries of God's Kingdom on earth and the mystery of-"Christ in you the hope of glory," are contained within Gods Holy Seed, and that precious seed has been sown within everyone's earthly heart! Everything we need, to be delivered from sin and death, is contained within God's Holy seed.

Here within our very own earthly hearts, the Incorruptible Seed of God's Heart (Christ) patiently waits to come forth and bring eternal life to each one of us. Galatians 4:19> " My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you."

As Christ is being formed in us , a new born again you, and a new born again me, are being formed in Him!

Oh, what love! Oh, the Glory Of It All!

Cry out to God .......

I repent!

I repent!

Of my sins.........

For I have right here...

Right here, in my heart

This great treasure within

Cut out of Heavens Mountain

Without hands .......

God's Holy Seed

sown within man!

Oh, What a glorious plan!

GOD IS A MAGNIFICENT BEING! "HE STRETCHES OUT THE HEAVENS, LAYS THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, AND FORMS THE SPIRIT OF MAN WITHIN HIM." Zachariah 12: 1

A light year = how far light travels in a year which is six trillion miles.

The Universe consists of billions of galaxies. Our galaxy, which is called, The Milky way Galaxy, is of medium size and consists of billions of stars. When we gaze up into the star filled heavens we are just seeing a small portion of the stars contained within our own galaxy. Our galaxy is just a tiny little speck in the universe compared to its vastness, and the earth is like a grain of sand within the vastness of our star filled galaxy.

Today we know that galaxies are as common as blades of grass in a meadow. They number perhaps a hundred billion. The huge 100- inch Hale reflector on Palomar Mountain-the worlds largest optical telescope-can see as many as a million galaxies inside the bowl of the Big Dipper alone.

How can one comprehend the incredible size of this galaxy- filled universe? How can the human mind deal with the knowledge that the farthest object we can see in the universe is perhaps ten billion light-years away? Imagine that the thickness of this page represents the distance from earth to sun (93,000,000 miles, or about eight light- minutes). Then the distance to the nearest star ( 4 -1/3 light-years) is a 71- foot-high sheaf of paper. And the diameter of our own galaxy (100,000 light- years ) is a 310-mile stack of paper, while the edge of the known universe is not reached until the pile of paper is 31 million miles high-a third of the way to the sun!

"When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. Thou made him to have dominion over all the works of thy hands; You have put all things under his feet. Psalms 8: 3-6
