Christ as Messiah

The last part of Peter Master's article:

To grow in the knowledge of Christ - the Messiah or anointed one - means to identify more with his entire messianic mission and timetable. He is now the rider on the white horse of Revelation 6, going forth conquering and to conquer over the hearts of his redeemed people, and soon he will return in power and glory. To grow in the knowledge of Christ, or Messiah, is to understand the whole picture of redemption and to look and work for his return. Do we meditate on the course and completion of his mission, and reflect on the great day of his appearing? Let us seek to know him more and more as Lord, then as Saviour, as Jesus, and as Christ.

This is both a searching and encouraging text, being both simple and rich, and referring to a form of growth which can never inflate the ego, because every aspect is humbling as well as uplifting. As if to mark this, the inspired verse concludes - 'To him be glory both now and for ever.'

Let us grow, dear friends, no mater how long we may have been on this glorious journey, never standing still, so that we may be strong and much used of the Lord.
