As far as man is
concerned, Jesus is the center of all things. But to Jesus himself
He cannot be the center of things in the same way as he is for man; the Father
is! You will understand this as you learn of Jesus history.
Jesus history starts
when he was born a spirit child in heaven to God. He was born as a
spirit son to God there, before any other spirit children of God were born, making
him ‘the Firstborn’ of the Father. Before he came to earth
Jesus lived with God.
29 For whom he (God) did foreknow, he (God) also did predestinate to be conformed to
the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
(Romans 8:29) (Parentheses added)
By calling him ‘the Firstborn’ it is implied that there is a
second born, and a third born, etc.
By obedience and
devotion to the truth he attained the highest intelligence which made him
a God, the Lord Omnipotent, while yet in his pre-mortal state.
Being omnipotent, he became creator of this
earth and of worlds without number, under the direction of Father.
He was then chosen to work out the
infinite and eternal atonement, to come to this particular earth as the literal
Son of the Father, and to put the whole plan of redemption salvation, and
exaltation in operation.
In all ages the gospel, all saving truths, and every edifying
principle, have been revealed through him.
Jesus history is that;
he is the Eternal Jehovah, the promised Messiah, the Redeemer and Savior, the Way,
the Truth, and the Life. By him immortality and eternal life become realities, and
through his grace and goodness salvation is made possible for all who will
believe and obey.
Firstborn of the
Father in the spirit, but on earth he is also ‘the Only Begotten’; because on the earth God did not have any other
children!
He was born into this
world as the Son of Mary (inheriting from her the power of mortality) and as the
Son of God (inheriting from him the powers of immortality).
He did not receive the
fullness all at once, but went from grace to grace until, in the final triumph of the
resurrection, he gained the fullness of all things; and all power was given
unto him both in heaven and on earth.
He has all truth, all
power, all knowledge; he comprehends all things, is infinite in all his attributes and
powers; and he has given a law unto all things.
He will come again, in power, dominion,
and glory to reign with righteous people on earth for a thousand years.
Thereafter he shall reign forever and ever as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Thus
is Jesus history and destiny. Gravity is gravity whether it is believed in or
denied.
