Isaiah 40:9-11. Titus 2:11-14. Luke 3:15-16, 21-22
Isaiah 431-7. Acts 8:14-17. Luke 3:15-17, 21,22.

The Father loves each one of His beloved sons and daughters as though there were no other ; and He calls them , each and every one , to His Presence in the Kingdom of His love . And I , the first-fruit of His love from the beginning , have come into His world to be the Means whereby the sons of men are enabled to become and do all the Father wills . All are free to accept the joyful but demanding call to wholeness and perfection: I died that through My life, My death, My resurrection and My risen life the Father's loving purpose might be fulfilled in them . And all are free to reject their glorious heritage.

I was conformed to all the rigours and the challenges of human life that I might offer both pattern and encouragement to all who seek to follow in the way of righteousness and love . Above all else I showed the challenge and fulfilment in desiring, seeking , and in doing the Father's will in all things . This brought Me to both death and resurrection that through My risen life I might bring all the faithful and the true of heart into the joy and glory of the Father's love in time and through eternity.
