Behold the Lamb with glory crowned

THE ALL-INCLUSIVE ONE IN OUR SPIRIT

We who experience Christ have a close, deep, intimate, and subjective relationship with Him. But we need to ask three questions: Who is Christ? What is Christ? Where is Christ? Because Christ is so much, it is difficult to say adequately who He is and what He is. To begin with, Christ is the very God. According to Colossians, He is the Firstborn of all creation. The Bible indicates that Christ is the reality of many different kinds of trees: the fig tree, the olive tree, the vine tree, and the cedar tree. Christ is also the real ox, lamb, lion, eagle, and dove. Furthermore, Christ is our real food, water, milk, honey, air, sunshine, rain, dew, and snow. Eventually, Christ becomes our all-inclusive land, a land in which we have mountains, hills, valleys, fountains, brooks, streams, stones, iron, and brass. Because Christ is such an all-inclusive One, when He was on earth He could use various objects in nature as illustrations of Himself.

Message 47 (LSM)

Lord he who is joined to Lord is one spirit!

Thank you Ana Lara for the note on this song.

It reminds me of the propitiation cover with the Cherubim of glory observing the sprinkled blood where we can meet with God receive vision, revelation, instruction for daily living. Ex 25; LS 89

Amen, this song be ours, we join in one
To celebrate the Name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to exalt the Lamb.
Hallelujah!

It has been said that “the Green Isle has never furnished a greater or more prolific writer than Thomas Kelly. ” Nor is it a question of quantity but of quality.

Kelly was born July 13, 1769 in Kellyville, near Athy, County Queens, Ireland. His Father was a judge and he was trained to be a barrister (lawyer). However thoughts of eternity pressed upon him early in life. This was brought about as he studied Hebrew. He was so deeply affected that he withdrew from worldly pursuits to study theology. He became deeply convicted to the point of being in great distress and began to punish himself through asceticism thinking this may lead him to salvation. His health greatly suffered for it! But soon the Lord led him to the truth of justification by faith and he was saved.

In 1792 Kelly was ordained in the Anglican Church. Because he preached the gospel faithfully, the archbishop of Dublin closed the pulpits in his diocese against Mr. Kelly. He left the Established Church to preach the gospel more freely. Crowds flocked around him wherever he lifted up the standard of the cross.

When he was about 30 years old, Thomas married his wife who became a great help to him in the work of the Lord.

He was a good musician and prepared a book for his hymns which numbered over 750!

In 1854 he suffered a stroke of paralysis while preaching, but lingered until May 14, 1855; at age 86, the Lord took him to a land where we “hear of war no more”. Someone at his bedside repeated “The Lord is my Shepherd”, and he replied, “The Lord is everything! ”

His last words were “not my will, but Thine be done! ”

"Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!" Thank you, Jesus, for being the sacrificial lamb who took away my sins and brought salvation to me (Hebrews 9:28).
