ONE SON - LESSON 4
                                BY J W LUMAN
                     
                      RESTORATION IN THE ONE SON


"When He who is our life shall appear, then shall we appear also
with him in glory." Aren't you glad that we can behold Him. I am
glad that song in its reality is not speaking of an event, but it
is speaking of A PERSON - the beholding of that Person as revealed
by the Holy Spirit and standing in the very express image of His
being - a manifestation of His glory.
    
I want you to turn with me to Ephesians 1, and we are dealing with
the TRUTH OF RESTORATION. Verse 3-7: "Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual
blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen
us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be
holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us
unto the adoption of sons by Jesus Christ to himself, according to
the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his
grace, through which he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In
whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace." Verse 11: "In whom we have
also obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the
purpose of him who worketh all things after the council of his
will: that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first
trusted in Christ." Verse 14: "Who is the earnest of our
inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto
the praise of his glory." 

Now in our searching here in these sessions, we have been dealing
with that Son that the Father has seen from the beginning. The Son
that the Father has planned from the beginning, that Son that the
Father has chosen from the very beginning. We have begun to
understand, through the Scriptures, that you and I constitute that
Son, by virtue of the fact that we are in Christ and by virtue of
what Christ Himself is made unto us. Not by virtue of what He has
done for us.

                          HE IS MADE UNTO US
    
He has done one thing for you. He is another thing unto you. A lot
of us know much about what He has done for us. We can give
accountability of what He has done for us. But very few of us have
begun to walk in the actuality of the understanding and of the full
assurance of the knowledge of who He is made unto us. "But of God
are you in Christ Jesus, who is made unto you wisdom,
righteousness, sanctification, and redemption." In those four terms
is summed up the whole of the redemptive work of God. In that is
summed up: all truth, all wisdom, all righteousness, all
sanctification, all justification. It is all summed up and He is
made unto you all that He Himself is. The whole eternal plan of God
revolves around His Son. From the very beginning, God has seen and
recognized one Son. We have found that to be Scripturally so and a
spiritual reality, that the Father's desire is to sum up all things
in one Son. Because He has never desired anything but one Son, who
is the fullness of Himself. The mystery with regard to that Son is
that he is a many-membered Son. The continued mystery of that is
that though He is many, yet the many are all one. For He saith,
"Unto thy seed... Not seeds as of many, but as of one. And to thy
seed which is Christ. But if ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's
seed." So the mystery that unfolds here is not only that God has
always desired one Son, but that Son by virtue of His finished
work. That work is three-fold. It is forgiveness, restoration,  and
reconciliation. Now we are dealing with restoration.
    
                      THE MANY-MEMBERED SON IS ONE

By virtue of that finished work, we have been brought forth in that
Son, that He is made unto us. So that one Son is a many-membered
Son. Yet the emphasis is never, never, never on the many-membered;
for the many are now ONE.
    
I place emphasis on things because the Lord gives us the privilege
to go throughout His whole Body around the world and across this
nation. I have seen emphasis in so many cases placed upon the many.
In the preaching of the Body of Christ, in the preaching of
sonship, the emphasis is upon the many-membered Son that we are.
NO. The emphasis of God is upon the one Son that He is. That is not
different terminology; it is a different understanding. It is not
just saying the same thing a different way. I have heard people
say, well brother Luman, we're saying the same thing. You are just
saying it differently. No sir. We are not just saying it
differently. We are saying that all too often, in the realm we call
"deeper life kingdom" or whatever you want to call it... It is too
bad we can call it anything except just the Gospel. But whatever
you want to call it, the emphasis is all too often upon the many -
membered that we are. In the sight of God, the emphasis is always
upon the ONE SON that He is. All that He is, who He is, what He is,
He is unto me and He is unto you. He is nothing less than that
which He is in you. He is nothing less than that which He is in me.
So the emphasis of the work of the Spirit, dealing with me, is to
reveal that Son in me; that I may grow up in the understanding, in
the Spirit, in the truth, in the reality, in the fullness of that
which He now is. The emphasis is never on me. It is never on you.
It is always on Him.
    
                      THE MYSTERY IN CHRIST

So the mystery, as it is taught in the Scriptures, as Paul
describes it in the Word of God, is not upon the focus that we are
in Christ - though we are! It is not upon the focus that there are
many in Christ, though there are! The emphasis is upon the focus
that though we are in Him and though in Him there are many, the
emphasis of the mystery that only God comprehends and must reveal
in you; the mystery that the natural mind simply cannot comprehend,
though we may give mental ascent to; only the Father by His Spirit
can truly reveal the mystery of it. The emphasis of that mystery is
not that we are in Him, not upon the many being in Him, but upon
the reality that the many are now One! - Absolutely One Son. That
Son is the only begotten of the Father.
    
What is the truth of RESTORATION? It is seeing yourself in union
with Him and understanding "it is not I who lives, but Christ who
lives in me." As we have said previously, this Son is a finished
work of the cross. He is a product of that which Christ did,
because he is to be a manifestation of all that Christ is.
Essentially, He is neither this nor that, but Christ all and in
all. It is the Body of Jesus Christ in union with Him.
 
   He is three things. He is a forgiven Son and He is a restored
Son, and He is a reconciled Son. All of these things apply to
Christ and to you and I because we are in Him and He is made that
to us. Again the emphasis is upon what He hath done and who He now
is. So we find that He is a totally forgiven Son, this Son many-
membered, yet one; He is totally forgiven because He totally died!
    
                  THE FAR REACHING WORK OF THE CROSS

We have been talking about the effectiveness, the far reaching work
of the cross, not just dealing with sins but dealing with the
sinner; not just dealing with things I have done, but dealing with
me. It is dealing with me in areas that have nothing to do with
doing or not doing, but rather has to do with just being. It is
taking my very being to the cross and there extinguishing it, that
we may come forth in the fullness of His Life only!
    
So we found that He is fully forgiven, because he is totally dead.
Wherein he was once found, he is now dead. He is totally restored
because he is totally raised up. On the basis that the old man
totally died, the New Man comes forth. "Therefore if any many be in
Christ he is a new creation. Old things are passed away, and behold
all things are become new" - except in our understanding. So it is
understanding by the Spirit that we must come to. I told you
earlier, that the cross must get off of Golgotha's hill, and get
into our heart and become the wisdom and the power of God, which is
what it is. It can't continue to become a historical scene. It must
become a present reality. "I am crucified with Christ."
    
                   RESTORATION - HE IS TOTALLY RAISED UP

So we find that the business of restoration is that He is totally
raised up. We are not working our way up. So many times, here is
the way you and I view salvation or restoration. We think that our
salvation is something like a ladder and that we are working our
way to Heaven. There is something about the flesh that likes to
work and achieve what Christ already is, so that there can be some
glorying somewhere, someway. So we have got our ladder and we have
created this ladder in theology. Maybe you'll recognize some of it.
We start off with the doctrine of the new birth. That is the first
rung. Then some of us go on to sanctification. Some then go on to
baptism in the Holy Spirit. Then some go on to the operation of the
gifts. Then some go on to gifts in offices. And on and on we go up.
We have different realms of holiness and different realms of
righteousness. We build our little rungs, working our way to glory.

Now, one of the first problems with that is that we tend, some of
us, to call each one of these rungs, the whole of salvation. So we
have a whole segment of the Church that has camped on this first
rung and tells anybody that would try to get by it that they are of
the devil; because that is all there is to it. But we have some who
are just hard-headed, you know, that they just go on by anyway.
They got them a rung and it's "sanctification". We are better than
those that are just born-again because we are not only born-again,
we are sanctified. Not only do we beat our wife, commit adultery,
and rob banks; but we don't go to picture shows, wear short hair,
or wedding rings.
    
Now I have told you, I have been raised up Pentecost, so I have
gone through all of it. Some cases we don't wear neck ties. If we
do, we don't wear tie clasps. If we do, they ought not to have a
stone in them. They gotta be plain. Why? 'Cause we are sanctified,
don't you know. Then there is another group that says, we believe
in speaking in tongues. This group down here says they are all full
of the devil, because everybody knows, this is it. We stand on the
first rung waiting for whatever comes next. That is not it, because
that is the devil. We have Christians along every one of these
rungs, fighting all that they can to keep everybody else from
getting up another rung higher. We have just created religions and
doctrines and camps on every rung of the ladder. Pretty soon comes
along somebody else and he's got one and it's called "sonship".
Then another one, he's got one called "body ministry". Another
one's got one called "kingdom". Working our way on up a little bit
higher.
    
                    THE OPEN HEAVEN - HE IS ...

The purpose of the Holy Spirit is in revealing this "One Son",
revealing Him in you, because as surely as you are in Him, He is in
you. This Son is neither male nor female, Jew nor Greek, all of
that; but is Christ - all and in all. "In that day you will know
that I am in my father, that you are in me, and that I am in you."
"But of God are you in Christ Jesus who is made unto you..."
    
The answer for this ladder business is God revealing His Son in
you. What happens when He does that is that He takes away your
ladder. He knocks the ladder off. He does away with the ladder.
Now, Jesus tells Nathaniel, I am going to give to you an open
Heaven. You have read that in your Bible. How could Jesus give an
open heaven to Nathaniel and to His Church and to His house?
Because the Father - look at Jesus' baptism, the heavens opened
unto Him. He says, I am going to give you an open heaven. That's
what God gave to Abraham in the very beginning of all of this.
"Lift up now thine eyes and I will show thee." He gave him an open
heaven. Jesus told Nathaniel, I am going to give you an open heaven
and you are going to see the angels ascending and descending upon
the Son of Man. Why did He say that? Because years back there was
a man named Jacob. Jacob had seen a ladder. The foot of which was
set upon a rock that was called a house of God, the head of which
extended and disappeared into the heavens and angels were ascending
and descending upon that ladder. Jesus is telling His Church, I am
the ladder. I am the truth, I am the way, I am the Life, I am that
which brings the heavens into the earth and the earth into the
heavens. I am the ladder! 
    
                        HE HATH RAISED US UP

So we come to the understanding that we are not working our way up,
but rather He hath raised us up and hath seated us together in Him
in heavenly places. And everything He is... You couldn't put enough
rungs on your ladder to include all of that. Everything that He is,
He is unto me and you. It is just a process of the Holy Spirit
revealing Him in you. So you are not achieving anything! You are
just coming into the glorious understanding of who He already is
unto you! So you may begin to walk in the light of His life and
walk in the light as He is in the light and enter into a fellowship
that is purposed and planned from the very beginning. We are
walking in the ever cleansing work of His life  - of knowing Him.
He is the ladder. He is the way - raised up together, made to be
seated together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
    
                       RESTORATION DEFINED

Let's look at restoration defined. I think now we might see
something that possibly we haven't seen before. Or we may see it in
a light that we haven't seen before. By definition, in your Bible,
in the Greek, to restore or restoration means these three things:
Number 1 - it means to give back. Now, our problem with restoration
is the same as it has been with forgiveness. We think that the son
Adam, who fell short of God's glory, is the one to whom these three
terms apply and they don't. Now you may not have heard this before.
Maybe we will finally hear it now. None of these terms apply to
Adam. None of these terms apply to me or you in Adam. He is not
forgiven. He is not restored. And he is not reconciled. It is not
just a sermon with me, it is a life with me. We will just search
this out from now on. There is only one term that applies to this
that fell short of the glory of God. There is only one term that
applies to Adam and that term is "crucified". The Son of God became
the last Adam to die. Your Bible is full of it. He was made a
little lower than the angels for the suffering of death. He thought
it not robbery to be equal with God. He laid it aside. Not a thing
to grasp onto - that is what the word robbery means. It is not
something to be held onto or to be taken. No. But freely He laid it
aside and made of Himself of no reputation and took upon Himself
the form of a servant. For what purpose? That he may become
obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. The only term
that consistently applies to Adam is death. Death = crucified. Adam
is not just forgiven of sins, Adam is crucified.

                          MUCH MORE
    
We saw before, we have forgiveness of sins here in Christ - the
ever cleansing life of Christ. That will click with you and I one
of these days. Sooner or later, that will click with us and we will
understand that salvation is not about the forgiving of sins!
Salvation is the doing away with the "old man", that we may walk in
forgiveness in Christ Jesus, having Him as our life. We are daily
walking in the cleansing, the growing up of that life. But
salvation is not just an old man having his sins forgiven and then
continuing to live as he was. It is more than that! It is a New Son
altogether. I hope you hear what I am saying. I am not telling you
your sins aren't forgiven. I am telling you so much more than that.
The Scriptures are telling you and I so much more than that. "Being
justified by his blood, much more we shall be saved by His Life."
Salvation is not just forgiveness of some sins, but a doing away
with the sinner and a coming forth as a New Man in Christ Jesus.
Our problem is, we do not see ourselves as being in Him. We have
not come to God's vision of that Son, God's view, God's knowledge
of that Son. To us salvation is having some sins dealt with, but
still seeing ourselves here in Adam. Just as we always were, except
now we don't sin. That is not the true picture. That's not all He
has done. That is not what the Father started out to get. He didn't
create man so man could sin so He could forgive him. That is not
what it is all about. But rather to bring forth many sons unto
glory. 
    
I want you to see that restoration is not Adam going back to where
he was before he fell. That is not what restoration is. It is not
going back to the garden. We are going to see that in these terms.
That is not what it is. Adam never had the glory of God. Where were
we when we dealt with this the other day. I can just sense by the
Spirit of God that we are having some problems with this. Adam was
innocent, not perfect. Adam was created, not birthed. Adam was made
a living soul, never a life-giving spirit. Adam fell short of the
glory of God, he never got into it. He missed it! Therefore the
work of salvation is not Adam going back to what he used to be and
start all over again. That is not what it is all about. It is not
just going back to a state of sinlessness or a state of ignorance.
Restoration in its truest form does not apply to Adam. Well then,
what does? The cross applies to Adam. There is a New Son coming
forth in restoration.

                      RESTORE - TO GIVE BACK
    
Restore means "to give back". How can you give something back to a
person who never had it in the first place? Hear what I am saying.
Let's just reason together. Let's walk together in this thing and
let's behold the Son that we are. All I am trying to tell you, you
are not down here. Restoration is not taking this guy back to the
garden. Here is where you are in Christ. I want you to see the
magnitude of restoration. I want you to see that Christ is made
unto you... I want you to see what it means to be restored - to
give back. How can you give something back that you never had? Adam
never had the glory of God. Your Bible never says that. You know
that. Adam never knew as he was known. Adam never walked in the
fullness of Life. The first man Adam was made a living soul. The
second Man - a life-giving spirit. The first man after the earth -
earthy. The second man - the Lord from Heaven. As we have borne the
image of the earthy, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly.
Restoration is not going back to the best of the first. It is going
into the fullness of the second. Then how can this term apply,
because it does mean to give back? Then we have been applying it to
the wrong son.

               RESTORATION APPLIES TO THE ONE SON
    
There is only one Son that ever came out of glory and therefore
only one Son can ever go back. Adam didn't come out of glory. He
doesn't go back. This Son came out of glory and He goes back and He
takes many with Him, back to where He has been; but where we have
never been. Restoration applies to Him. He didn't come out of some
garden, He came out of the fullness of God. He didn't come out of
some creation, He came out of the beginning. Restoration doesn't
mean going back and pruning apples to him. It doesn't mean going
back and naming animals to him. To Him restoration is going back to
where He came from, into the fullness of God, into the bosom of the
Father, into unlimited fellowship, back into the beginning. He
takes you with Him!!
    
Restoration means "to bring back to a former condition". We just
got through seeing, Adam didn't return to a former condition. I can
understand how in the carnality of our minds, we have taken
forgiveness, restoration; we have taken that which belongs to the
Christ, we have applied it to Adam and have formed us another
Gospel. That restoration is just making the earth a better place to
live in. Restoration has nothing to do with living in the earth -
period! It has to do with being in Christ and manifesting His
fullness in the earth.
    
             A SON RETURNS TO HIS FORMER CONDITION

That is the reason Paul says, "If ye be raised with Christ, if ye
be risen; then seek there, set your affection there. For you are
dead and your life is hid with Christ in God." It points to another
place altogether. Go back to a former condition. There is a Son
that has returned to his former condition! He took me back with
Him. For we are raised up together and made to be seated together.
"In that day you will understand, I am in my Father, you are in me,
and I am in you." The Spirit of Truth will come and cause you to
understand that. If you and I don't understand that, it is not
because it is a lie, it is not because it isn't finished, it is not
because there is no Spirit of Truth; it is because we have not
received His testimony. We are too busy building ladders. But when
He comes, you will understand something beyond the farthest reaches
of your imagination - He is going to show you something. He is
going to show you that just as sure as I have returned, you have
returned also. You have returned with me, in me. That is John 14,
beginning with verse 15; "The Spirit of Truth is come, when he has
come whom the Father shall send, who shall proceed forth from the
Father. In that day, you will know. For He shall testify of me and
you will bear witness of it. He will lead you into all truth. He
will glorify me. For He shall not speak of His own, but He shall
speak and take that of mine and show it unto you. In that day you
will understand something."
    
We haven't received His testimony yet. Why? I don't want to be
repetitious, but because we have just made Him a rung in the
ladder, rather than the revealer of all Truth. "Well, I spoke in
tongues, now I am ready for the next thing." Well I spoke in
tongues when I was five or six years old. That was a long time to
wait for the next thing, if that is all there is to it. We have
made Him a rung on our ladder and then fight about that. He is the
revealer of Truth.
    
We haven't even gotten into the Scriptures yet, except what I have
quoted to you. We are just dealing with definitions of a word right
now. We are just looking at a plain definition that cannot possibly
apply to Adam.
    
                      ONE SON - MENDED COMPLETELY

Thirdly, "to mend completely". Well, who is it that has to be
mended? He that was wounded. Who has to be healed? He that was
bruised. Who was the wound upon him? I am the wound. Isaiah got a
hold of this and it transformed his whole book. He starts off
saying, "We hid, as it were, our face from Him because there was no
beauty about Him that we should behold Him. In that state of hiding
our face, turning our face from Him, we esteemed Him smitten
(punished, wounded)." But then it says "He was wounded for our
transgressions, the chastisement of our peace was upon him, bruised
for our iniquity." All of a sudden Isaiah is saying, "don't you
see, that is me hanging there. That is you hanging there. Those
wounds in Him are me and you. Those bruises are me and you. That is
the ugliness we don't want to face. We don't want to truly face
that ugliness. We just want to say, He did away with some sinning.
We don't want to say, I am the bloody gash. I am the wound. I am
the bruise. I am the reproach. I am the iniquity that is upon Him.
    
Paul brings all of that into focus and let's us know that that is
it. I am crucified with Christ. When He died, I died. He brings it
into focus. Now what is restored then? The wound? Or the wounded?
The wounded is restored. The wound is done away thoroughly - the
wounded is thoroughly mended. God if that ever gets a hold of us.
When the Father raised Him up, it was so thorough that He came
forth as one fully restored, as though he had never even died. You
have got to see these things to hear His words and to know why He
said things the way He said them. Or else you will just think He
was rude.
    
Mary and Martha were crying and weeping over Lazarus. They couldn't
see beyond the end of their nose. All they wanted was their brother
raised up from the dead. Jesus tries to speak to them of Life and
they say, oh yes we know, and then they apply it to an event.
Finally He says, "I am the resurrection."
    
                    HE IS THE RESURRECTION

He is not just a raised up one, He is the resurrection. We are the
raised up! He came forth in fullness of Life. Life as Christ was
raised up from the dead. The Greek there says, "Like as Christ was
raised up from among the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
we should walk in newness of life." That ought to mean something to
us, because do you see the newness of that? That is not going back
to an old position, that is going forth to where we have never been
before, through His resurrection. Through His going back to a
former condition, we go where we have never been before. In My
Father's house there is plenty of room. In my Father's house there
is many dwelling places. "I go to prepare a place for you and if I
go, I will come again. And I will receive you into myself, that
where I am, there ye may be also. And in that day ye will know that
I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you." It is going back
for Him, but it is going forward for us.
    
                     THE REALITY OF RESTORATION

Let's look at the reality of restoration. You need to go through
the first chapter of Ephesians and mark the "He, Him, and His"
words and just meditate on "He, Him, and His" and just let the Holy
Spirit work it in your hearts. This isn't just some sort of a
history course. See yourself as that which He is made unto you.
Except you be that which He is made unto you, then you are still
hearing Adam and have no life at all! There is only this third
system in the imagination of our heart. We see ourselves not quite
in Adam, not quite in Christ; somewhere out here having our sins
washed away, but we are living our own life. We are "making it" and
doing the best we can, trying to hold out to the end. There is no
such system! There is no such place, except in my own darkened
imagination. I am either in Adam, dead in sin, separated from God;
or I am in Christ, dead to sin, and alive unto God. And if I am in
Christ, then I am there by the finished work of the cross, which is
forgiveness, reconciliation, and restoration. But those three terms
apply to Him and what He is now made unto me. Don't you see, that
is what it means that we are joint heirs with Him. Not heirs also.
The Bible never says you are heirs also. We are joint-heirs as one
with Him. Because everything that He is, He is made unto you. That
doesn't mean that all that He has got He divides up among us. It is
saying all that He is, is made unto you. There isn't any division
to it. God help us to get a hold of this.
    
Ephesians 1:5: "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of sons
by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of His
will." And over here in verse 11: "Being predestinated according to
the purpose of him who worketh all things according to the council
of his own will. Look at verse 5 again, "Having predestinated us
unto the adoption..."  Now let's look at this. We are raised up
together, we are made to be seated together, hath blessed us with
all spiritual blessings here in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Please see this. Here we are in Christ Jesus, blessed with all
spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus in heavenly places. We are
there according as he hath planned and chosen from the beginning.
We are there because he has chosen us in Him. So through the work
of the cross, we come forth in Him. How can we come forth anywhere
else?
   
                THE SPIRIT REVEALS THE REALITY

Here in the beginning, the Father and the Son are in complete
agreement and complete union and complete covenant. The Father
chooses us in the Son, so if the Son comes forth to finish the
work, where is He going to bring us; except where the Father hath
determined us from the beginning. He is not at odds with God, so He
is going to come forth and say, "I came to finish the work that My
Father gave me to do" and when He came to the cross He said, "It is
finished." By the work of the cross, you and I are brought forth
through the operation of faith and by the Spirit and we are found
exactly where God planned us from the beginning. The Father and the
Son are in accord on this thing. So the Father saw us in a place,
chose us in a place, and the Son came forth and brought us into
that place. He could not put us in another place. Do you see that?
It is given to the Spirit of God to reveal to you and I that
reality, that realization of what the Father has seen and the Son
has done so we will walk in it and manifest it in the earth. It is
a work of the Spirit, working out in you, in truth what Christ is
in Spirit, in reality. We will begin to walk in an understanding,
in a faith that we never had before. Do you hear what I am saying?
    
To verse five, that is what it is saying. We are in Him because the
Father chose us in Him. He did that having predestinated us.
Predestination has nothing to do with that. He has put us in Christ
because He has planned us in Christ. He planned us in Christ having
predestinated us, because He wanted sons. Predestination has to do
with Sonship. Look at it. "Having predestinated us unto the
adoption of Sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good
pleasure of his Will. He purposed us in the Son and He put us in
the Son, why? To fulfill the good pleasure of His will. Now, what
is that will of God? That we be sons; more perfectly that we be One
Son. For He has predestinated us unto the adoption of Sons by Jesus
Christ to Himself.
   
                  INHERITANCE BELONGS TO THE SON

Over here in verse 11 the same thing, "In whom we have obtained an
inheritance" Why? Inheritance belongs to the Son. God love our
hearts - wake up and see this!! Inheritance belongs to the Son, not
to sons - s-o-n-s. It belongs to the Son, the first born, the only
begotten. The inheritance belongs to Him. It is God's will to
gather us up into Him. It is God's will that the One Son be many
sons, and that the many be One.
    
The inheritance - being predestined according to the purpose of
him, who worketh all things after the council of his will. Indeed,
He has worked all things after the council of his will. His will is
to have One Son with whom He may share His eternal fullness and
Godhead - that is his will. He has worked all things after his
will. He has brought forth that Son in Christ and He has sent the
Spirit out from Him to teach that Son and to bring that Son into
understanding.
    
We pittle around building ladders!! And fussing and fighting over
the rungs, when in fact we have been raised up, made to be seated
together; that His will may be worked out in us by the Spirit unto
His good pleasure.
