Hosea 14:2-10. Matthew 10:16-23

The great and Holy One, creator of all that is or was or ever shall be, sent His beloved ad loving Son into the world of His creation to fulfil His loving purpose and bring into His glorious Presence the fruits of His creation. Many of the sons and daughters of His creation set aside His will, rejected His beloved and loving Son and spurned His loving purpose. All responding to His word and faithful in Hs love became and become inheritors of His Kingdom and even now progress in the grace and power of Our redeeming, sanctifying love in the created world or in His Nearer Presence.

The way to perfection and fulfilment for the obedient to the Father’s word and faithful in His love is often challenging and sometimes daunting. But the Son of God became the Son of Man to identify with the pain and aspirations of the sons of men and bring all committed to the will and loving purpose of the Most High into His glorious Presence in time and through eternity.

I, the Son of Man, beloved and loving Son of the great and Holy One, creator of all that is or was or ever shall be, have come and I come ‘that all who are in Me and I in them might have life and have it in abundance’ (John 10:10).
