  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Christ The King: Conclusion.

CONCLUSION

What has been highlighted to me doing this study is the initial part the Father has in bringing about His great purpose through His Son and through the empowering of the Holy Spirit. The Godhead working together for the Father`s great purpose.

God the Father `...having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposes in Himself, that in the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth - in Him.` (Eph. 1: 9 & 10)

In `one` denotes in unity and harmony of all things under Christ`s rulership.


When Christ came as a babe, `a body was prepared for Him.` (Heb. 10: 5) He was born of the right family, (David`s line) and ruling tribe, (Judah) that God had established over Israel.

Christ was appointed Priest by the Father of a new order, a kingpriest and set upon His throne in the highest heavens. This glorified Son of God and Son of Man `sits` enthroned

`far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named , not only in this age but also in the one to come.` (Eph. 1: 21 & 22)



God the Father has bequeathed the nations and all things to His Son.

So not only is this great conqueror, King of Kings, ruling over all, but He is also Lord of Lords, administrating over every detail in all His great kingdom, and finally He is the Father`s heir who takes possession of all the lands, peoples, rulership, realms, and exercises His great power and authority in a reign of Righteousness and Peace.


`For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.` (Rom. 14: 17)
