 | Jesus Christ spoke,
and the universe was created.
In his time,
the Son of God,
creator of heaven and earth,
ruler of creation,
came into the world
as a baby laid in a manger.
He grew up in the home of a carpenter.
When he showed himself to the world,
many of the common people
were drawn to him,
but many of the religious leaders
would not believe him.
Those who opposed him
supposed they could stop him.
But he went to the cross
to suffer and die for our sins
to reconcile us to God,
and he rose again.
He returned to his Father in heaven,
and for many generations
has drawn people unto himself.
He has given them faith
to trust him to save them,
and has given them eternal life.
Jesus Christ dwells in his people.
He is their righteousness, holiness,
and redemption.
Not one of them will perish;
no one can take them out of his hand.
We believe God,
not the suppositions of this world.
We trust Christ,
not efforts, churches, or religions.
Though the wisdom of this world
speak against us,
we have Christ, the Wisdom of God.
Though the world build itself up
and then pass away,
we have Christ, the Eternal Life.
Though the world boast
of its own righteousness,
our righteousness is Christ,
the Righteousness of God.
