Jesus’ Perfect Plan - So We Could GROW UP in Every Way Like Him!
12/19/2025
I was asked to share this... This has probably been obvious to everyone. But for the first time—I’m reading—Jesus came down and introduced Himself and His Perfect Plan to us and then went up so He (Holy Spirit) could come down—the very Spirit of Jesus IN people will CAUSE the Full Stature of Jesus’ Nature (the Bride—His Very Rib—bone of His Bone) to Rise up and MATCH Him. We MUST grow up in EVERY way abandoned to His Control (whispers/Leading-Restraint), building one another up in Love, animated by the Very same Spirit that was/is/is to come.
“Now, what does ‘He went up’ mean? It means that first He came down to the lowest depths of the earth. So the one who came down is the same one who went up, above and beyond the heavens, to fill the whole universe with His presence. It was He who ‘gave gifts to people’; He appointed some to be apostles, others to be prophets, others to be evangelists, others to be pastors and teachers. He did this to prepare all God’s people for the work of Christian service, in order to build up the body of Christ. And so we shall all come together to that oneness in our faith and in our knowledge of the Son of God; we shall become mature people, reaching to the very height of Christ’s full stature. Then we shall no longer be children, carried by the waves and blown about by every shifting wind of the teaching of deceitful people, who lead others into error by the tricks they invent. Instead, by speaking the truth in a spirit of love, we must grow up in every way to Christ, who is the head. Under His control all the different parts of the body fit together, and the whole body is held together by every joint with which it is provided. So when each separate part works as it should, the whole body grows and builds itself up through love.” (Ephesians 4:9-16 GNTD)
