Paradoxes of Christ:

“Authority should not be considered a position of privilege
as much as a responsibility to be used for service.”
Rick Joyner – “First Century Church Government”

Paradoxes of Christ:

He is the Light,
yet He hung in darkness on the Cross…
He is the Life,
yet He poured out His soul unto death…
He is the Rock of Ages,
yet He lived only a short time on earth…
He is the Son of God,
yet he died a felon’s death…
He is holy, undefiled, separated from sinners and knew no sin,
yet He was “made sin” and took our places suffering in our stead.
He bids the weary to come to Him for rest,
yet He found no rest on earth,
until He said, "Teleos!" “It is finished,”

and gave up His life to the Father.
He is a Mighty God,
yet He chose to be a man of weakness to be crucified.
He is the Image of the Invisible God,
yet His visage was marred more than any man.
All the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him,
yet He took on the form of a servant and the likeness of man.
He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast,
yet He humbled Himself and became obedient – even unto death.
He is the desire of All Nations,
yet he was a despised and rejected man.
He is the Fountain of Life,
yet upon the Cross He cried, “I thirst!”

Can you understand these mysteries?
These are the things angels desire to look into…
All of the heavens cannot contain Him,
yet he died for you and me.

Selah –

The Lord dwells in Zion!
