Daily Bread – August 20, 2022 (The Seventh Day – Genesis 2:1-3) Ephesians 1:10 – Overseeing the fullness of times to bring together all things in Christ, both which are in Heaven and which are in Earth, in Him. All Things Are Reconciled In Christ Jesu The Only Begotten Son, Christ Jesus, was born in the fullness of time to redeem all things – and now the Father oversees the final hours of that time, bringing everything to a complete resolve in Christ Jesus (Galatians 4:4; 1 Corinthians 10:11). In these final hours before the creation of a new Heaven and new Earth, God is at work making ready every part and every person for that glorious day (James 5:7; Acts 1:7; Matthew 24:36; 1 Corinthians 15:24-28; Revelation 20:4, 21:1-5). The Father has given Jesus a Name that is above all other names, and He is now occupied with the administration (‘oikonomia’) of His Kingdom. Through Christ Jesus, all things were reconciled unto God, whether they be in Heaven or Earth (Ephesians 1:10; Colossians 1:20). There is no redemption outside of Jesus; and to Him, all things must come and find restoration. Both the Father and the Holy Spirit are actively drawing men to Jesus and glorifying His Name in all the Earth (Titus 2:11-13; John 6:44, 14:13, 16:13). Preparations are being made at this very moment for the final events in which all Creation will be liberated into the glorious freedom of the redemption that was purchased by Christ Jesus (Romans 8:21-23). Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
