Completeness, to me, means that I know everything that God knows and can do everything that God can do [and in heels] .....just kidding....about the heels that is....well, maybe not.:)
I, for one, cannot find any other prototype to be a valid one other that Jesus Christ, the firstborn from among the dead....the one whose body did not see decay.
He said that all power had been given to him both in heaven and in earth.....so whatever he knew to be truth in his heavens [the Father realm] he was able to manifest in his earth [the son realm].
Although he said that he and his Father were one, he did not hesitate to say that his Father was greater than he. For it takes more than just one 3rd dimensional body to be the only expression of God's great vast heavens. That's why Jesus represents just the first coming of a man in the full recognition and abilities of the Father.
When God said in Genesis "let us make Man", He, in my understanding was talking about making every individual man to be an atom in the body of this Man who would look like, talk like, think like, and act like their Dad in every way... His image.
That is how God is All [everything] in all [everyone].
Right now, I see God as IN all, but I do not think that we see God manifested as Everything in Everybody....there is still too many that are yet unconsciousness or as the bible says it, dead in their trespasses and sins.......BUT WE SEE JESUS! Jesus who has been made both Christ and Lord and while beholding Him, we are being changed from glory to glory......BECAUSE...
Jesus is who I am outside of time, but "in the fullness of time, God brought forth his son", we are to bring who and what we are in our heavens, which is Christ Jesus, into time...or into manifestation. Perhaps this is a little different than the way Barbara expressed it, but I'm sure she will grant me that space.
"When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away." Jesus represented that which was perfect (mature) in spirit, soul and body. He interjected into the consciousness of man the possibility of perfection (maturity) ......only this time the birth is many membered......that to me is what the second coming of Christ is.
"All the saints and seers taught the same lessons as Jesus – to love God above all else and your neighbor as your self. Jesus added one essential awareness: that the individual has a personal future in a transformed body to continue the work of the Creator, evolving the Creation, until all creatures are in the image of God."
The coming of the Lord, to me, is being fulfilled in us on an individual spiritual basis, and is also to be fulfulled in a historical corporate basis.
Just as the individual cells of a fetus are growing and forming while in Mother's womb, but there comes a time when all the cells have together been formed into something called a child and they are birthed all together as one thing.....that, to me, is the collective New Creation Man.
This is just my present understanding and by Grace will yet be expanded as we continue to Behold Him.
Thanks for the grace or space to let us share our hearts,
Karen
