11) The Divine Pattern

AIM: To show the deeper significance in the Father and Son relationship that is written into all things as explained in 1 Cor 8:6. “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.”

OUTLINE: Jesus is the way the truth and the Life. When we discover His true identity in relation to the Father we find the key of knowledge that will open to us all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. In patterning our world upon the source-channel relationship of the Father and Son, we find that only in the worship of the true God and His Son can we comprehend and discern the deep mysteries of our creation and begin to find the meaning of life. It is this reason that Jesus tells us, “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3
