Christ, the House of God

Christ, the House of God

by Robert B. Thompson
Christ Himself is the eternal House of God. God the Father finds His rest only in Christ, never in any human being apart from Christ.
No man has seen God at any time. Christ, who dwells eternally in God, has come to reveal the Father to us.
There were several occasions before the coming of Christ when God appeared to men. Some of those occasions are described in the Old Testament. In every instance it was Christ or the Angel of the Lord who appeared. No human being ever has seen God the Father (John 1:18).
Christ is the Divine Word of God, the Expression of all that God Is. When we see Christ we see the Father.
God is a Spirit, not a human being. God requires the shedding of innocent blood in order to appease His sense of violated justice. We understand by this that God is different from us.
Christ was born of a woman. Therefore we can establish a relationship with Him and make progress in coming to know Him. It is the good pleasure of Christ to reveal God to us.
God desires that the Incarnation, the Divine Expression be magnified so that every person on the earth may have access to Himself. Therefore God is multiplying Christ; for God will dwell only in Christ. Christ is the House of God.
God is magnifying and multiplying Christ by creating the Body of Christ. As Christ is being formed in the members of His Body, Christ is being magnified and multiplied and God in Him.
