Bro. John:<\/span><\/p>\n

The message today was wonderful!\u00a0 Everything that God reveals to us through His Son helps to pull back the curtain on Christianity and show us what it really is.\u00a0 Below is an excerpt from an email I shared in 2006 after I heard the Lord say, “Symbolism is NOT Me!”\u00a0 After reading it again, I understand what name to give Christianity: Death<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u00a0is Death because when Jesus died on the cross, all ceremonies and symbolism died with him.\u00a0 If we honor any of Christianity’s ceremonies and symbolism, we are honoring Death and not LIFE!\u00a0 Whew!\u00a0 Christianity = Babylon = Symbolism = Ceremonies = Form = everything else except LIFE!\u00a0 And the Son of God is NONE of it!\u00a0 He was saying that day, “Christianity is NOT Me!”\u00a0\u00a0He is still saying, ‘there is no other way but Mine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for the wonderful message this morning.\u00a0 It stirred up what I heard years ago, and it was so sweet to feel those words in my heart again.\u00a0 Something so simple as that phrase is full of the revelation of who the Son of God is \u2013 and who he isn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you said in the last meeting: “The Bible won’t do it!\u00a0 The Word of God does!”\u00a0 I am so thankful God is still speaking and revealing what is truth and what is lies.\u00a0 That is a God of Love.<\/span><\/p>\n

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************From 2006:<\/span><\/p>\n

When God gave His Son to die and then sent back His Spirit, Jesus was the end of all the symbols God used.\u00a0\u00a0Jesus was the last of the sacrificial lambs used by God on earth to atone for the sins of mankind.\u00a0\u00a0By his death, Jesus put all other symbols to death.<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0As the Lord once told me:\u00a0\u201cSymbolism is NOT Me!\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>I understood what he said to me better today than I did when he spoke it the first time!\u00a0\u00a0\u201cSymboism is\u00a0NOT Me!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Those words came from the Son of God who is Life, not symbol nor ceremony.\u00a0\u00a0Whatever is not life is not God or His Son<\/u>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been good to my soul all day long to think this one thought:\u00a0\u00a0Jesus was the end of all symbols and his sacrifice put all symbols to death<\/strong>.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.\u00a0For Christ is the end of the law\u00a0<\/u>for righteousness to every one that believeth.”\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0Romans 10: 3,4<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Wherefore the\u00a0<\/strong>law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.”\u00a0 Galatians 3:24<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
