He who made the world showed up in the world. He who was one with the Father became one with us. He came to where we are to take us where He is; that is, He became what we are so that we could become what He is, sons and daughters of God. He entered into us so that we could enter into Him. No one could redeem us, except the One who made us. It is in receiving Him that we embrace the Creator as our Redeemer; it is in receiving the divine Grace-Energy of the Cosmic-Christ-Creator-Redeemer that we are born children of God. Hallelujah, what a Savior!
“He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:10-13 (ESV)
