Jesus Is "The all in all"

Greetings friends and family.

The new year has been a great opportunity to grow greater faith in the kingdom of God then ever before. No matter the circumstance or situation your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ is your greatest treasure. Store up more faith as you pass through whatever darkness puts before you. Stir up your faith at every occasion, and see the mighty hand of God deliver you through all!

I want to share an email I have received from a true bible teacher who I have known of for over 25 years.

JESUS: THE REAL APOSTLE
Last week's chronicle introduced the real Jesus. This week I want to talk to you about Him as the real Apostle.
Hebrews 3:1, KJV Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the APOSTLE and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Matthew 28:18, KJV .all POWER is given unto ME (Jesus) in heaven and in earth.
The apostle is God's AUTHORITY. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Chief or First Apostle. He has been given all power and is the highest authority on earth. He was sent from the Father, fully authorized to bear the Name of the "I AM."
All authority centers in Jesus. The Greek word for "power (authority)" in Matthew 28:18 is exousia, and it means, "executive right, privilege; (subjectively) force, capacity, competency, freedom; (objectively) mastery; or (concretely) magistrate, potentate, token of control; a delegated influence."
Jesus, the Head of the Church (Eph. 1:20-23), has been given all executive authority in heaven and on earth. He personifies the name El-Elyon, the Most High God, the Possessor of heaven and earth (Gen. 14:18-22; with Mk. 5:7 and Heb. 7:1). The name of Jesus is higher than any other (Phil. 2:5-11).
This essential truth is the basis of the Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20). The Gospel of John especially reflects Jesus' apostleship, as He was "sent" (apostello) from Heaven by the Father to accomplish His will and purpose (Jn. 3:16-17; 5:36-38; 6:29,57; 7:29; 8:42; 10:36; 11:42; 17:3-25; 20:21). All authority, whether domestic, ecclesiastical, or civil, is delegated authority.His authority. The One who divided the five loaves (Matt. 14:17-19) ascended into Heaven and divided HIMSELF into five ministries (Eph. 4:8-11):
1. Jesus is the Apostle (Heb. 3:1).
2. Jesus is the Prophet (Acts 3:22-23).
3. Jesus is the Evangelist (Lk. 4:18).
4. Jesus is the Pastor, our Good Shepherd (Jn. 10:11).
5. Jesus is the Teacher (Jn. 3:2).
Jesus is now operating through these five ministry gifts in the earth throughout the nations, and will continue to do so "till" the purpose of Ephesians 4:12-13 is fulfilled.
Jesus is the real Apostle. Does He exercise authority over your time, your talent, and your treasure?
