Jesus our All in All

For the next few weeks I'll be sharing quotes from the recently released book, "Jesus Manifesto" by Frank Viola. I pray that Jesus will grow larger and larger in our view until He fills all our vision and the issues of life "grow strangely dim" when seen next to His beauty and glory and power.

From "Jesus Manifesto":

"The body of Christ is in dire need of a reconversion to Jesus...To say He that He is our Savior and Lord is correct, of course, but it's inadequate. He is so much more. Christ is:

your Shepherd
your Advocate
your Mediator
your Bridegroom
your Conqueror
your Lion
your Lamb
your sacrifice
your manna
your smitten Rock
your living water
your food
your drink
your good and abundant land
your dwelling place
your Sabbath
your new moon
your Jubilee
your new wine
your feast
your aroma
your anchor
your wisdom
your peace
your comfort
your Healer
your joy
your glory
your power
your strength
your wealth
your victory
your redemption
your Prophet
your Priest
your kinsman redeemer
your teacher
your guide
your liberator
your deliverer
your Prince
your Captain
your vision
your sight
your beloved
your way
your truth
your life
your author
your finisher
your beginning
your end
your age
your eternity
---your ALL IN ALL."


Jesus, You are all of this and more...You have a name that no one knows, and we will be knowing You eternally. Spirit of God, come and reveal this One that You know and love so well! Amen...
