Very good morning, kind friends and brethren present and those in other nations through the Amazonas satellite and Internet and other means of communication; may God richly bless you all and me too on this day which we commemorate the resurrection of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
And a special greeting to all ministers of different nations that are present these days in the fourth seminar entitled: “A Masterpiece.” May the blessings of Christ be upon you all, ministers that are present, and have come to be in this fourth seminar entitled: “A Masterpiece.”
God, from Adam to Jesus, was carrying out His work of a masterpiece, which He began with Adam and continued with all other men of God sent by God: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, also before with Seth… Abel, Seth, Methuselah, Enoch also, which was taken away without seeing death, and also Noah and his family that was saved building an ark; but in none of them, of all these men, prophets: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and other prophets, the masterpiece that God began to build, it never reached perfection until Jesus appeared, in whom the Masterpiece of God is crowned with the person of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is God’s Masterpiece, it took Him four thousand years to reach that Masterpiece, say four thousand years and some more years or four thousand years, or four thousand years and thirty three years, we could say four thousand and thirty-three years.
And then Jesus Christ started a Masterpiece, to make a Masterpiece, which is His Church. He began at the day of Pentecost, and it has been two thousand years, or two thousand years and more, and if we work out the figures according to the Hebrew calendar, we would have two thousand and some years. In this end time that Masterpiece would reach its perfection.
Now, in these days we were seeing the ministry of Christ, we saw that Jesus Christ is nothing less than God Himself with His angelic body called the Angel of the Covenant, which became flesh in a veil of flesh called Jesus, which was created by God Himself in the womb of the Virgin Mary, that’s why Isaiah, chapter 7, verse 14 says that this child would be called Emmanuel which being interpreted is: God with us.
And now, we also saw His ministry, we also saw His death on the Cross of Calvary, we also saw His burial, and the place where He was at, His body in the grave, but His Spirit, which is His angelic body, was in hell, because He had to take on Himself our sins and thus to take them away from us (our sins) and then to take them to the place of origin which was the devil, that’s what He went to hell for, and He took away the keys of hell and death from the devil and then He came out of hell, passed through Paradise at that time called the Bosom of Abraham, so to bring out from there all those people with Him, to resurrect them in His resurrection.
Therefore, we read in Matthew, chapter 28, to have a clear picture of that glorious time of the resurrection of Christ. Matthew chapter 28, verse 1 onwards says:
“In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week
(in other words, on a Sunday) came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
“THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST.” That’s our theme for this occasion to see this mystery of the resurrection of Christ our Savior.
We all know that Christ is risen, He knew that He would rise, as He said in John, chapter 10, when He says: “No one takes my life, I lay it down myself to take it again.” (John, chapter 10, verse 18). He also said that He lays down His life for the sheep, and said that that’s why the Father loved Him:
“Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again
(‘this commandment have I received of my Father,’ says also Christ in this passage).
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.”
Therefore, Christ did not die to remain dead, but with and for a divine purpose and divine command: to take our sins, was made sin for us, in order for Him to make us like Him, without sin, so He took them and had to die like a sinner because of our sins, and all that had a divine purpose.
No human being could take away our sins, except Jesus Christ, which is found in types and figures in the Old 2Testament in those animals that were sacrificed for the sins of the people; the sacrifice of atonement for the sin of the people types Christ being sacrificed for our sins, Leviticus, chapter 23, verses 26 to 29. And in Leviticus chapter 23, verses 1 onwards, speaks of the Passover feast where a lamb was sacrificed in remembrance of the lamb that was sacrificed by each family head, for the preservation of life of each Hebrew firstborn in each family.
And Paul… this is in Exodus, Chapter 11 and 12, and then in Leviticus, chapter 23, verse 1 onwards, and then Paul in First Corinthians, chapter 5, verse 7, says: “For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.” Well said the prophet John the Baptist, forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, when he saw Jesus, he said: “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.”
If He came to take away the sin of the world and John knew that, he had this divine revelation; to take away sin He had to die as the paschal lamb was slain there in Egypt, at the home of each Hebrew family, in every Hebrew family.
Therefore, Christ as the Lamb of God had to die, Isaiah, chapter 53, verses 1 to 15, tells us that He had to die, and that passage, being a messianic passage is fulfilled in the Messiah in His first Coming, because the Coming of the Lord is twofold: His first Coming as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world, and His Second Coming to do His Reclaiming Work, to claim back all that He has redeemed with His precious Blood. That’s why the Lamb of God and the Lion of the tribe of Judah is the same Jesus Christ our Savior. Notice, in Isaiah, chapter 53, verse 10 says:
“Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin…”
See? He had to lay down His life as an atonement for sin, in other words, that the Work of Atonement had to be made by the Messiah Prince in His first Coming, which was typified in the sacrifice of the goat of atonement that was sacrificed on the tenth day of the seventh month of each year. (Leviticus, chapter 23, verses 26 to 29, and it is also found there in Leviticus chapter 16).
The Scripture speaks to us of all these things, in chapter 16 of Leviticus it speaks to us of the Day of Atonement, and thereafter we find that God said that no one could enter into the Most Holy Place but only one day in the year, which would be the 10th day of the seventh month of each year, the Day of Atonement, where the high priest would take the blood of atonement of the goat that was sacrificed for the sins of the people. All this is a type and figure of what the Messiah the Prince would do at His first Coming.
And now, all that was being fulfilled in Jesus Christ dying on the Cross of Calvary, Jesus Christ Himself was aware of that stage of which He would go through, which was necessary, indispensable for the salvation of the human being, for the reconciliation of the human being with God; that was a perfect Work that the Messiah would carry out, a masterpiece, the work of redeeming the human being.
We find that He had to fulfill a great number of requirements and no man could fulfill them, not even the types and figures were able to fulfill all the things concerning the redemption of the human being for the reconciliation of man with God, because animals have no soul, which is why they were not perfect and therefore could not carry out a masterpiece, a perfect work; they were only the type and figure. With the death of Christ the sacrifices for the sin of man have already ceased, because the perfect Sacrifice was made for the sin of man for the reconciliation of the human being with God, for man to be placed, restored, to the Kingdom of God. And now, we saw Him being crucified, dying on the Cross of Calvary, we saw Him again in the Scripture and in the message, in the conference of yesterday Saturday; we also saw Him descending into hell in Spirit and preaching there to the spirits who were disobedient at the time of Noah, that is, people who were disobedient in Noah’s time, and died in the flood (and were disobedient), in there were also those who were disobedient in the time of Moses, all who were disobedient at all times, until Jesus’ time, and died, they were in that dimension. But notice, He preached to those people who were disobedient in Noah’s time, not for salvation.
Then we see Him passing to Paradise after taking the keys of hell and of death for which He could raise, and leaves, resurrects with all the saints of the Old Testament and He appears in the city of Jerusalem, and the saints who were raised with Him on that occasion appeared to their relatives.
It was a very important visit of all those saints who were raised in young bodies appearing in Jerusalem, Abraham and Sarah visiting Jerusalem again in physical bodies, and also Isaac, the patriarchs, Jacob, all these people visiting Jerusalem.
Likewise when the believers in Christ who died shall rise, they will visit the believers who are alive in this end time, because their relatives in the Kingdom of God, their relatives in Christ are the believers in Christ, these are the relatives of the heavenly family, but if they appear to a relative of the flesh, there is no problem, they will have a shock if they don’t know they’re coming in young bodies, but when that promise is already fulfilled, we will see them in young and glorified bodies.
Now, all this is because Jesus Christ, who died, was buried, rose on the first day of the week, Sunday morning, our dear Lord Jesus Christ rose again as He had promised: on the third day; Friday He died on the Cross, and after dying, in Spirit He went to hell bearing our sins to hell and also carrying them far away, and delivering or returning them to the devil who is the originator of sin, and taking away from the devil the keys of hell and death, then going to Paradise or Bosom of Abraham to resurrect them on Resurrection Sunday, appearing with them in the city of Jerusalem.
Christ had to rise on Sunday, and why Sunday? Because that is the time corresponding to the resurrection; Sunday represents eternity, Sunday is the first day of a new week, one returns to the beginning, and one returns to a new starting time for a new divine time, for a new Divine Program, for a new dispensation.
That is why the believers in Christ of the Apostolic time went to the synagogue on Saturday, or to the temple those who were in Jerusalem, to speak of Christ, preach Christ, but on Sunday they came together for service, for Sunday was the day Jesus Christ was resurrected and it was the first day He appears to His disciples already resurrected and glorified.
Sunday, as I said, represents eternity, and in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is born from Christ through the Holy Spirit, the Life that is in Christ, Christ would return again as He promised, He says He will not leave us fatherless but He will come to us, He says: “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” He would not be with us in His glorified physical body, but in Holy Spirit which is the Angel of the Covenant.
Now, Christianity is founded on the revelation of Jesus Christ, of who Jesus Christ is and His resurrection; for if Christ was not resurrected, everything would be lost. Christ had to, not only die and be buried, but also to resurrect, and He promised to rise again on the third day, the words He speaks to the Jews before the temple say: “Destroy this temple (and they thought He was talking about the temple of stones, but He was speaking of the temple of His body, in John, chapter 2, verse 19 onwards).”
Remember that the person is a temple, he has the outer court which is the body, he has holy place which is the spirit of the person, and he has most holy place which is his soul, and when He speaks those words, they thought He was speaking about the temple of stones, but He was speaking of His physical body that had to be sacrificed to pay the price of Redemption.
When Christ was resurrected, then they understood, He says: “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up,” that is, He will rise it again on the third day, He died Friday afternoon, then … Friday is the first day, Saturday the second day, and Sunday morning it is already the third day. On the third day Christ had to rise, and He knew it, He knew the divine plan, He knew the Program for the Redemption of the human being.
The disciples, although they had been about three and a half years with Him under the messianic ministry, they did not understand, and for you to understand what they understood concerning the First Coming of Christ, in all the time they were with Jesus they understood less than what you and I understand now. They did not understand the plan, the Program of Salvation, of Redemption, they thought He was going to establish the Messianic Kingdom in those days that He was with them, that He would sit on the Throne of David and restore the Kingdom of David. That’s how they believed concerning the Coming of the Messiah, the First Coming of Christ, because in the biblical prophecies about the Coming of the Messiah, in the Old Testament everything was seen as only one, and they did not understand that the Coming of the Messiah had two parts: His first Coming as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world, and His second Coming as King, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
That which corresponds to His Second Coming was what they were expecting the Lord to do, to fulfill, in those days. But that is for this end time, this corresponds to this time where Christianity is awaiting the Second Coming of Christ.
Christ was risen from the dead on the first day of the week, that is, on Sunday, and the Scripture says that He was raised never to die again, because in the glorified body there is no death, the person doesn’t die. The death of the human body was caused when sin was committed in the Garden of Eden, and then all the offspring of Adam and Eve we see that it is mortal, that’s why it is born, lives for a while on Earth and the human being dies.
That is the heritage we received from Adam and Eve: life, but temporary, but it is good because it gives us the opportunity to make contact with eternal Life through the second Adam who is Jesus Christ our Savior, who bore our sins on the Cross of Calvary and then took them far away, to hell, to the fifth dimension, and so returned them to the devil, who was the originator of sin.
With the resurrection of Christ the Work of Redemption was completed, and in Luke He commanded those who were with Him after He resurrected, with whom He was for forty days appearing at different times, say, at least on eight occasions He appeared to His disciples and spoke of the Kingdom of God, taught them, and He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, the prophecies that spoke about Jesus the Messiah, which they recognized and believed strongly that it was Jesus.
Notice, Jesus Christ already raised, in Luke, chapter 24… those days they were very frightened and they had godly fear because of what had happened; Luke chapter 24, verses 36 onwards says they were assembled and the doors closed; the walkers to Emmaus returned to Jerusalem to give the news that Jesus had already resurrected, had appeared to them. It says … this was when He broke the bread, giving thanks to God (their eyes were opened), verse 30 onwards says:
“And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.”
He could appear and disappear, in other words, the glorified body has those faculties, so shall it be with the dead in Christ when they rise, they may appear and disappear, and when believers in Christ are transformed, they will be able to appear and disappear. In other words, all of that comes with that body.
It’s the kind of perfect body that Christ has: glorified body and I’m going to have it too, and who else? Each of you too, not just for me, the promise of a glorified, eternal, immortal, incorruptible body like the glorified body of Jesus Christ our Savior is for all the believers in Christ:
“And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.”
For surely He did it in the same way He did on other occasions when He had been with them for three and a half years:
“And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them and said: Peace be unto you.”
Notice, He appeared to them, when? When they were talking about Him; so shall be at the Coming of the Lord and so shall it be with the dead in Christ when they rise: they will be talking about Christ, about the Coming of the Lord, and they’ll be talking about the dead in Christ that shall rise:
“But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.”
Because a spirit is a body of another dimension. Also in the storm, when He was with them in His earthly ministry and walked upon the waters, they thought they were seeing what? a spirit:
“And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.”
Here He is describing how a spirit is, a heavenly spiritual body, a theophanic body, and what a glorified body is; there we have the description of the spiritual body or spirit, which is a body of another dimension, it does not have flesh and bones, and the glorified body does have flesh and bones, but glorified, perfect body which will never get old, will never get sick, will never die, young throughout all eternity.
That will be so for all believers in Christ because they found what? the Fountain of Youth, Jesus Christ resurrected, which is why Paul said: “If we have known Christ after the flesh, not anymore,” Why? Because He has already been raised up, He is glorified, and He is in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church and we know Him as the Angel of the Covenant, our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. He is the same yesterday, today and forever, the same Angel of the Covenant that was veiled through the prophets and fulfilled the portion of His promised Word for each period of time in which He sent those prophets, and prophesied through these men of God all the things that would come later.
For the prophet is reality the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, and the ones He has used to prophesy through them, they have been called: prophets, men with two consciences together, to hear from God and see what they ought to see, and to speak what they ought to speak, because God places in their heart and in their mouth that which they ought to speak, and it becomes the Word of God for the time when it is spoken, and it still is the Word of God for all time. And now, continuing, it says:
“And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered…”
Now notice, there are some occasions when we are expecting something great, and when it happens, we say: “I cannot believe it,” it is not that one doesn’t believe, “I cannot believe I have it, I have received what was promised or what I was looking for, I cannot believe it, “but he is seeing and receiving it.
It’s like when a young man graduates from university in the career which he was longing for, to get that title, when he receives the title says: “I cannot believe I accomplished what I wanted,” but it does not mean he does not believe that it is a reality, but out of joy he says: “I cannot believe it.”
“And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb
(as were most of them fishermen, they were accustomed to eat fish almost always when they were out there in Galilee, and what did Jesus do?).
And he took it, and did eat before them.
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you…”
Now, He did eat before them, remember that the saints, believers in Christ who died physically, when they shall rise in glorified bodies, you should know that they can eat, so we will not wait for them to ask us: “Do you have something to eat?” as Jesus asked His disciples, we know they can eat in the glorified body, Jesus showed it, proved it.
And those who are in paradise we have the news that the Rev. William Branham, when he was in Paradise, before his final departure to Paradise, those who were there said to him that they were going to return to Earth in the resurrection: “Then we will put on bodies and then we can eat (they said) because here (in other words, being in their angelic or spiritual bodies, they say), here we can neither eat, nor sleep or work.”
In other words, they are resting from the earthly works that are carried out in the physical body, because in the spiritual body such work cannot be carried out here on Earth. But when they return, they would like to work too, and probably they will have the opportunity to help the elect of this end time that will be transformed as well. So we do not know how it will be there at that time, but we will be speaking about the Word of God, because Christ already resurrected was speaking the Word to them, speaking of the Kingdom of God.
When we are all transformed, we do not have to pay airplane tickets, we will not have any problems. If we wish to be, if we want to be somewhere together, we can, in terms of quantity, it does not matter; and since in the glorified body one can eat, but you can also go without food in that body, so do not worry about the expenses after we have been changed.
It is important to know these things, to know also something in advance of what to expect from God concerning what He has promised to all believers in Christ, Who has resurrected; therefore, also all the believers in Christ will be resurrected and those who are alive will be changed, because we will all have eternal, glorified bodies. For that reason and for that purpose we are awaiting the Coming of the Lord, which things were said by Paul also, in Philippians, chapter 3, verse 20 to 21, where it says:
“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”
So therefore He has the power with which He will transform our bodies, and my prayer is that it may be soon, as soon as possible. The sooner, the better, in other words, we spare ourselves problems, and the fulfillment of that promise is very close. God is preparing everything to fulfill those great promises that correspond to this end time for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Christ has been for about two thousand years, or two thousand and some more years in Heaven, making intercession with His own Blood as High Priest of the heavenly Temple for all those who receive Him as only and sufficient Savior, which are written in Heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and soon His Church will be completed in this end time in the Golden Age of the Church that corresponds to this time and is represented on Sunday, which corresponds to the eighth stage in the program of the trajectory of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, it corresponds to the stage number eight of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ among the Gentiles, which is why the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is found also in that cycle represented on Sunday, and She is in found within the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium from Adam to here or third millennium from Christ until now, for the resurrection of the believers in Christ who died and the transformation of the living.
A spiritual resurrection precedes; every believer in Christ has a resurrection, has risen in the Kingdom of God, has risen from death, because in the Garden of Eden, mankind lost eternal Life, mankind died to that Life, that eternal Life, and now Christ produces a spiritual resurrection when the person receives Him as only and sufficient Savior, is baptized in water in His Name and Christ baptizes him with the Holy Spirit and Fire and produces the new birth in the person, he is born again, a resurrection unto eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom; he already has that resurrection; now we are lacking the resurrection on the Last Day, the resurrection of the body of those who died, and the transformation of them which are alive.
In the spiritual realm we find that Paul says: “Awake, Thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light.” (Ephesians, chapter 5, verse 14). See? It is a spiritual resurrection. Christ Himself, speaking of the resurrection, says in John, chapter 5, verse 19 onwards says:
“Then answered Jesus and said unto them
(verse 19 onwards), Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever the Father doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
Now Christ in this Scripture says that he who hears His Word has eternal Life, says that has passed from death unto life, and then we find that the disciples died, each in his time; they died unto temporary physical life, but they continue having eternal Life in their soul and spirit, and in the resurrection they shall have physical eternal Life also:
“Verily, verily, I say: The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.”
And now, through the preaching of the Gospel of Christ all those that receive Christ as Savior, they are hearing the Voice of the Son of God and receiving eternal Life, and the saints of the Old Testament which were in paradise, they heard the Voice of the Son of God, the Voice of Christ in His angelic body, when He visited them, and they resurrected. “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”
It is Christ the Angel of the Covenant, Who will with His Voice resurrect all believers in Him that have received Him as only and sufficient Savior, those are the ones who will resurrect in the first resurrection, which is unto eternal Life in eternal and glorified bodies, and then Christ’s masterpiece, just as God’s masterpiece was crowned in the person of Christ, and Jesus Christ is God’a masterpiece and rose to eternal Life, and the masterpiece of Christ is His Church, and His Church in this end time will be crowned with eternal physical Life in physical, glorified and eternal bodies , like the glorified body of Jesus Christ our Savior.
Therefore, Christ’s masterpiece which is His Church, She is found in the most glorious time of all times. She has been carrying out a work which Christ has commanded Her to do, from the time Christ She received the order, and at the Day of Pentecost She started preaching the Gospel of Grace for salvation and eternal Life to everyone who would receive Christ as only and sufficient Saviour, that is a masterpiece which Christ commanded His Own Church to carry out throughout the time, because that’s the way people hear the Voice of Christ, Christ by means of His Spirit in His Church speaking and calling His sheep from age to age.
Because the Voice of Christ by means of the Holy Spirit has been all along in His Church, that’s why “He who has an ear hear (what?) That which the Spirit and the Bride say,” what Christ in the Holy Spirit, and His Church, His Bride, speak; for His Church, through the Holy Spirit manifested through different messengers, speaks the Gospel to the people offering water of eternal Life.
And now, Christ was risen from the dead two thousand years ago, and soon He will raise every believer in Christ who died and the living will be physically changed, the Mystical Body of Christ is His Church, and therefore Her goal is the same of Christ: to have eternal and glorified bodies like the glorified body of Jesus Christ our Savior.
His Church has already had a stage and a trajectory like that of Christ, and every believer in Christ has had a spiritual resurrection unto eternal Life in the Kingdom of Christ. And His Church in this end time, composed of believers in Christ, will have a physical resurrection those who died, and a change for those who are alive, and spiritually the Church as the Mystical Body of believers at this time in the spiritual realm has risen to a stage of eternal Life in the Golden Age of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the stage or age of and for adoption, the adoption of the body, the redemption of the body, which will be our glorification.
In this fourth seminar: “A Masterpiece,” we have been seeing the resurrection of our dear Lord Jesus Christ, this seminar for ministers of Puerto Rico and other countries, which the Great Tent-Cathedral of Puerto Rico is carrying out.
And now, with the resurrection of Christ, the Redemption Program became a reality. Everything that was in the mind of God, the Redemption of the human being; that’s why the Gospel of Christ is still being preached until the last written in Heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life comes to Christ, because Christ cannot leave the Throne of Intercession in Heaven, where He is as High Priest with His own Blood, until His Church is completed, until the last written in Heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life has been redeemed.
And then He will leave the Throne of Intercession where He is as High Priest and will become the King, King, the Lion of the tribe of Judah; because it is the same person, the very same Angel of the Covenant, Christ Himself. He is the Lamb of God who took away the sin of the world, and He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
We are very close to the time for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to be completed. We are very close for the last one written in Heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life to enter in, and when that happens, at that moment, time shall be no more, the time of Redemption and for Redemption, for salvation, will end, and then it will pertain to the Reclaiming Work where many prophetic events we have read in the Bible and we have heard in and through different preachers, will take place.
We are in the most glorious time of Christianity. We are in the most glorious time for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, therefore let’s take advantage of time properly, working on the Work of the Lord, working on everything that is promised to be done in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, because it is through His Church that the Lord Jesus Christ has been working and will continue working in this end time.
Christ in Holy Spirit through His Church has been fulfilling all the promises He has made, and things that are promised to be fulfilled at this time from behalf of God to His Church, we will see them in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, Christ in Holy Spirit fulfilling them for the blessing of all His believers.
We are eager to be changed, and I the more; when we are changed we will see all the things God has and that we still had not understood. When we are changed, we will see things with different eyes, changed eyes, of a changed body, a glorified body.
In other words, even the way of thinking will be changed, because the person thinks according to the knowledge he has. The more knowledge of a topic the person has, he can think more broadly about that topic.
The masterpiece in the resurrection of Jesus Christ as God’s masterpiece. During this month and next month, we will see also the masterpiece of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in more details, we already touched something, but we’ll be seeing it in more detail to see things that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been carrying out in accordance with the mission She has on this planet Earth from behalf of Christ.
We can say, as the Apostle Paul, at this time, in First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 20 onwards, Paul the apostle says:
“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.”
He was the first One that resurrected to eternal Life, firstfruits, He is the firstfruits; and then we are the rest, then those who are of Christ:
“But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.”
I can say with all my heart and with full understanding: “But now is Christ risen from the dead, is a reality,” and who else can say it? Each of you can also say that Christ is risen from the dead.
May the blessings of the Risen Christ be upon you all and me too, and may He soon transform us and the dead in Christ, born again believers, may He resurrect them in eternal and glorified bodies. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
If there is any person who has not received Christ as Savior, you can do it right now and we will be praying for you, for Christ to receive you in His Kingdom, to forgive you, and to cleanse you with His Blood from all sin, you be baptized in water in His Name and for Christ to baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire and to produce in you the new birth.
In all countries you may also come to the Feet of Christ those who have not yet come to the Feet of Christ. Christ has many people in Puerto Rico and throughout Latin America and the Caribbean and is calling them in this end time, and in all countries He has many children and Christ is calling them in this end time to complete His Church and to carry out His Reclaiming Work, to resurrect the dead believers in Him and to transform the believers who are alive in this end time.
The most important thing for every human being is life, and if life which is mortal, which is temporary, is the most important thing, how much more eternal Life; eternal Life is the most important thing of all and cannot be obtained except through Jesus Christ our Savior.
God has given us eternal Life, and this Life is in His Son Jesus Christ, “He that hath the Son hath life,” eternal Life, he that hath not the Son (who does not believe in Christ and has not received Him as Savior, it is he that hath not the Son), has no life, or does not have eternal Life, he has a temporary life which is going to end, but he does not know when it will end, because people die as babies, as children, being young and being adult or being elderly, there is no specific age at which the person has to die, therefore, it is necessary that the person has secured his eternal future with Christ in His eternal Kingdom, so that he may have eternal Life and may live again in the Kingdom of God forever.
The human being makes many decisions in his life, and none of them places him in eternal Life, except to receive Christ as only Saviour, that’s the greatest decision, greatest, that a man can do in his life, because that is the decision that places him in eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom.
We will stand up to pray for people who have come to the Feet of Christ our Savior. If there are children ten years of age and older, who have not yet received Christ as Savior, they can do it right now to be included in the prayer that we will be doing. People of different nations, different countries may also continue coming to the Feet of Christ our Savior.
With our hands raised to Christ, to Heaven, and our eyes closed:
Lord Jesus Christ, I bring to you these people who have heard the preaching of the Gospel of Salvation, the Gospel of Christ and faith in Christ was born in their souls and have received Him as only and sufficient Savior. Lord, receive them in Your Kingdom, I pray. In
the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray thee, O heavenly Father. Amen.
Now repeat after me this prayer those who are coming to the Feet of Christ right now.
Lord Jesus Christ, I heard the preaching of Your Gospel and Your faith was born in my heart.
I believe in You with all my heart, I believe in Your first Coming and I believe in Your death on the Cross of Calvary as the Sacrifice of Atonement for my sins and for the sins of every human being.
Lord, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I need a Savior, a Redeemer. I give public testimony of my faith in You and receive You as my only and sufficient Savior. I beg you to forgive my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood from all sin and baptize me with the Holy Ghost and Fire after I am baptized in water in Your Name and produce in me the new birth.
I want to be born in Your Kingdom, I want to live forever with You in Your Kingdom. Lord, make a reality the salvation you purchased on the Cross of Calvary for me, make it a reality, save me Lord. I pray in Your eternal and glorious Name Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
With our hands raised to Christ, to Heaven, we all say: The Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all sin! The Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all sin! The Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all sin! Amen.
Christ has received you into His Kingdom, has forgiven your sins, and with His Blood has cleansed you from all sin because you have received Him as only and sufficient Savior. Christ said: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
(Mark, chapter 16, verses 15 to 16).
You will say to me: “I want to be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord as soon as possible. When can I be baptized?” is the question from the depths of your heart. Inasmuch as you have believed in Christ, you may be baptized.
Water baptism is typological, it does not take away sins, it is the Blood of Christ that cleanses us from all sin, but water baptism is in the likeness of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Savior. In water baptism a person is identified with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. When a person receives Christ as Savior, he dies to the world, and when the person is immersed in the baptismal waters, typologically is being buried, and when he is lifted from the waters of baptism, is being resurrected to a new Life, unto eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom.
That is the symbolism of water baptism in the Name of the Lord. Even Christ Himself was baptized by John the Baptist to fulfill all righteousness. Therefore, you can be baptized and may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire and produce in you the new birth, and we will continue to see each other for all eternity in the Kingdom of Christ in and with eternal, immortal, glorified bodies.
I leave the Rev. Jose Benjamin Perez to let you know how to do to be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord, and in other nations I leave to the minister concerned to do the same.
May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the risen Christ be upon you all and me too, and we will continue to see each other for all eternity in the glorious Kingdom of Christ, and until next Sunday, God willing, that I’ll be back with you, both those here present and those in other nations.
We’ll always be meeting in the different ways that exist for the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, until next Sunday, God willing, and may you continue spending a happy evening, filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior.
“THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST.”
