"‘This is what the Lord says: I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted, throughout the earth. 5 Should you then seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares the Lord, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life."
Jeremiah 45:4-5
Jesus prayed to the father for us. He prayed "that they may be one even as we are." This prayer is truth. It is Jesus saying that we - through him - and only through new baptism - are given new life in Jesus. And by abandoning ourselves to "the way" - Christ Jesus will live complete in us. We may become one with the father as he is one - but nobody sees the father except through Christ Jesus.
He is the Righteous Holy Lord. He, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, is the only way. In him, we are made whole, made new - cloaked in his Righteousness, his holiness and his way. All praise to Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior forever.
Seek not the treasures and blessings of the most high, but rather seek a close personal relationship with the one who is love, the one is the creator of all things and knows the end from the beginning. Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
