Welcome to the inaugural part of our comprehensive series, “Christ Consciousness Volume 1.” In this transformative journey, we will delve into the profound teachings that will revolutionize your life forever. Get ready to uncover the mysteries of Christ Consciousness, a realm where the supernatural becomes your new norm.
Through the lens of scripture and spiritual insight, we’ll explore the fundamental principles that governed the life of Jesus Christ and the Apostles, making them masters of their destiny.
Understanding Christ: The Foundation of Christ Consciousness
To grasp the essence of Christ Consciousness, it’s crucial to first understand who Christ is. The answer to “Who is Christ?” is multifaceted:
- The Anointed One: Christ, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word “Messiah,” signifies the anointed one.
- The Son of God: Jesus Christ, the embodiment of God’s love, is the Son of God.
- Jesus and His Church: Collectively, Jesus and his followers, the body of Christ, are Christ. As stated in Ephesians 5:3, “We are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.”
The Unity of Faith and Knowledge
In Ephesians 4:11-13, we find the purpose of God’s gifts to men:
- For the Perfecting of the Saints: To edify the body of Christ.
- For the Work of the Ministry: To bring believers into the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God.
- Onto a Perfect Man: To attain the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
This unity is not just about faith but also about the knowledge of the Son of God. It’s the comprehension of Christ’s fullness that we’ve received, as highlighted in John 1:16, “And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.”
Jesus: The Son of Man, A Master of His Destiny
Hebrews 2:7-18 reveals that Jesus, as the Son of Man, lived and functioned as a human being, not in His glory as the Son of God. This is crucial because it means that whatever Jesus achieved, humanity can also attain. He came to represent man, to show us how to live, think, talk, and win like Him.
