The Daily Word of Righteousness
One New Man, #3
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ [of Messiah]: (Ephesians 4:13)
Perfect members of a perfect Body are being formed. A perfect Man is being created by the ministries imparted by the ascended Jesus. It is the one new Man.
As Adam and Eve were one, so the Lamb and His Wife are to be considered one new Man.
The one new Man is the eternal house, the eternal temple, the habitation, the dwelling place, the resting place, the tabernacle of God.
The eternal Temple of God is constructed from the Cornerstone, Christ, and also from the additional stones being formed and cut to size.
If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively [living] stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. (I Peter 2:3-6)
The Zion out of which the Deliverer will come and turn away ungodliness from Jacob, according to the Scriptures, consists of the chief Cornerstone, the Lord Jesus, and also the living stones who are being formed as an integral part of Himself.
The one new Man is the eternal house of God, the place of God's rest forever. It is the holy city, the new Jerusalem. It is the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom coming from Heaven, the kingdom of priests that will rule the nations of saved peoples on the earth forever.
There is no temple in the one new Man, in the new Jerusalem, for God and the Lamb are the Temple of it. The Throne of God and of the Lamb are in it and the nations of the saved will walk in the light of it.
Eventually the entire creation will become part of the one new Man so that every saved creature reveals in himself the Lord Jesus Christ. There will be no more "sea" of people who are not part of the one new Man.
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: (Ephesians 1:10)
There is a place of rest in the one new Man for every person whom the Lord our God has called.
In my Father's house are many mansions ["abodes," as in verse 23]: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (John 14:2)
The house of the Father is the one new Man. Our Lord Jesus went to the cross, and then ascended to Heaven and sprinkled His blood upon and before the Mercy Seat of God so each of us may become an eternal part of the one new Man.
To be continued.
