From the transcript...

Larry and I talk with Jason Clark on this

Podcast, Rethinking God with Tacos. We didn't

get to eat any tacos, but we got to talk. This

week and the next three weeks are that podcast

broken up into three segments so I can air them

here on GAN.

From the transcript...

Jesus standing there in the flesh on the shores of Galilee. That was the Father's eternal Son anointed in the Holy Spirit. The creator, sustainer of all that is.

And I want to give credit. I learned this from Baxter Kruger. But the reality is that is who's standing there, who's being baptized of John, and he's holding the stars, he's causing the planets to spin on their axis, yeah, in the galaxy and all the stars, and he's holding it all together.

Jesus in the flesh. He's the one hanging on the cross saying, "Father, forgive me." Yeah. He's the one that died. And he has been raised. We were raised with him in the whole cosmos. And it's all new.

Yes. That's the message. That is the message.

Yeah. We were also talking about Hebrews 1. About... Hadn't he purged our sins?

Yeah. Well, the final revelation, he's spoken to us by the Son.

Yes, yes. And he has purged our sins and sat down. That being that final revelation, the full revelation of God.

I'm going to give another shameless plug to this book, Getting to Know Papa, a 31-day journey into the heart of our Father. I do recommend it. On day eight, the title of everything has changed. James picks up this scripture out of Hebrews chapter 1, verses 1 through 3. This is the New Living Translation.

I love that translation too.

Yeah. Long ago, God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now in these final days, He has spoken to us through His Son.

God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance. And through the Son, He created the universe.

The Son radiates God's own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven.

What did you want to say about Romans 1 to 11?

That I read it.

Yeah, but as he talks about how that we die. We've been created anew. I'll tell you what. We live with him. We're joined now.

"Likewise, you also reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord."

You take that scripture. I'm just giving you what the Holy Spirit ministered to me on this morning.

Go to 2 Corinthians 5, verse 15. It says, "And He died for all."

That's why we come out over here in Romans 6:11, right?

"Reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God."

"And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again."

Therefore, it's what you were talking about earlier. We know no man, no one, according to the flesh.

Just the reality of what God has accomplished in Christ. New life to the cosmos. We've been transferred, translated, from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. It is the reality of the world that is.

Mind, your life is in this world.

I know this doesn't have anything to do with... well, it does, kind of. But another thought that came to mind was in John 1, where it says, "In Him was life."
