We ought always to be mindful of our
Lord who is the head of the
Body as well as the offering and the offerer of the
Sacrifice whereby we are
Reconciled. While the things that Jesus did are often emphasized with some consideration given to what He said, there is not so much attention to what Christ had in mind after we were Redeemed by His Blood and BornAgain of His Spirit. Without understanding Christ's expectation for us we are not able to understand what He said and did and why He said and did it.
Simply put, Christ Jesus is the FirstFruit of many SonsOfGod. His expectation for us is that we be like Him. 1Jn 3:2
