Cornerstone Christian Fellowship of Redmond

Colossians 3:1 The Mirror Bible
You are in fact raised together with Christ! Now ponder with persuasion the consequences of your co- inclusion in him. Relocate yourself mentally! Engage your thoughts with throne room realities where you are co-seated with Christ in the executive authority of God’s right hand.

Now, in the light of your co-inclusion in his death and resurrection, whoever you thought you were before, in Christ you are a brand new person! The old ways of seeing yourself and everyone else are over. Acquaint yourself with the new! In the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God did not redeem a compromised replica of you; he rescued the original, blueprint you, created in his radiant mirror likeness! Any other ‘self’ you’re trying to find or esteem will disappoint! Reckon your ‘DIY-law of works-self’ dead, and your redeemed self co-raised and co-seated together with Christ! This is freedom indeed! Galatians 2:19,20; Rom 6:11. See 1 Pet 1::3 We are reconnected with our original genesis through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead! This new birth endorses and celebrates the hope of the ages; God’s eternal love dream concludes in life!
[II Corinthians 5:17]

When Christ got up and walked out of that tomb he changed every rule that had been governing you and I.
This is the reality we live from!

(As much as we were co-included in his death,) we are co-included in his resurrection. We are also elevated in his ascension to be equally present in the throne room of the heavenly realm where we are co-seated with him in his executive authority. We are fully represented in Christ Jesus. (Our joint position in Christ defines us; this can never again be a distant goal to reach through religious devotion or striving, but our immediate reference. Col 3:1-3)
[Ephesians 2:6]

So we are a New Creation as well as seated with Christ.
I pray that you will understand beyond all comparison the magnitude of his mighty power at work in us who believe. Faith reveals how enormously advantaged we are in Christ. (The preposition 1, speaks of a point reached in conclusion) It is the same dynamic energy that he unleashed in Christ when he raised him from the dead and forever established him in the power of his own right hand in the realm of the heavens. Infinitely above all the combined forces of rule, authority, dominion or governments; he is ranked superior to any name that could ever be given to anyone of this age or any age still to come in the eternal future. I want you to see this: he subjected all these powers under his feet. He towers head and shoulders above everything. He is the head; the church is his body. The completeness of his being that fills all in all resides in us! God cannot make himself more visible or exhibit himself more accurately. (The word, 1, comes from , a preposition always denoting origin, and from , to identify by name, to surname; thus the “church” is his redeemed image and likeness in human form.)
[Ephesians 1:19-23]

From this place of reality we have become partakers of:
His peace. John 20:19
Shalom, means wholeness, completeness, serenity, and harmony of life. A return to the original peace Adam was given by God as his creation. Full restoration of that relationship has been granted by the cross.
You can walk with God in this life!

From this place of reality we have become partakers of:
His Devine purpose for us. The meaning of life.
It’s all about Him.
Philippians 2:13
The “ to will and to do for His good pleasure“ is our purpose.
John 20:21 “I am sending you”
Share this Gospel of the Kingdom! Use your life, your lips, and His love which is shed abroad in our hearts. Romans 5:5

From this place of reality we have become partakers of:
A promise.
John 20:31 we have a promise of life in his name!
John 3:16 Everlasting life.
John 10:10 Life and more abundantly.

Resurrection Sunday is far more than bunnies, candy, and colored eggs.
It is the very Cornerstone of our “ New Creation Realities”!
When Christ rose we rose as well.
Because of our oneness with Christ we are triumphant over death and have received peace and a revealed purpose that is eternal and currently being lived out in our daily life.

This is what today is all about!
That’s why we are here, why we greet each other in the parking lot, why we love so generously, why we worship, why we have equipping class and other times of fellowship, and most of all why we are here for each other!
WE ARE FAMILY!
