The Greatest Mystery of True Permanence

The permanence of the Son of Man is seen in the effects of His authority and law and customs associated with the name of this Son of Man over Nature which has kept Nature functioning. This association between His name and all of Nature, including stars and planets and life, is a factor tying Jesus, the Son of Man, in with the history of Nature back to its very beginning. So for this Son of Man to become mortal flesh and blood is so mysterious in the design of God who determined it should be. Then it appears that design broke when the soldiers led Jesus to His crucifixion. It meant something broke in the design. This mortal life up until that point had been protected by sovereign power of The Father and angelic forces The Father gave to guard Him in His ways. Yet now this seemed to malfunction and crash. The body so precious of the very Master of all things and all people became a victim and even died. How did this serve God's will? It was the breaking of a body to the good of the friends of Jesus to give them the permanence Jesus had always had with God. Yet this permanence of the Son of Man was not destroyed by His death because God can raise the dead and Jesus was and is God's firstborn son, the only Son begotten by God as distinct from those whom God adopts to be His children, So in fatherly love God raised this Son of Man back to physical life by giving the body that had been mortal a brand new kind of immortality never known before in all creations of God, making Jesus the firstborn from the dead. The permanence of the Son of Man was preserved at this weakest point in His entire history - the point of death - and will therefore ever be preserved by the love and power of God His true Father. This God is thus Father to all those He adopts whose life eternal comes to them through His Son, Jesus the Christ, Isa al-Mashir.
