The Cross Beyond Time • Feb 01st 1994
The Mystery of Christ Beyond What Can Be Known
There are realities that cannot be learned, explained, or reasoned into existence.
They must be revealed.
This message moves beyond what can be seen or understood by human thought and enters the realm of the revelation of Christ—the eternal Christ who existed before creation, outside of time, and beyond history itself.
Discover a reality beyond what you’ve ever known: the timeless truth of your being in Christ. Gene Edwards unveils a profound revelation of the “Christ before creation” and the Lamb slain eternally. This message explores how the New Creation preceded the old, and how you were marked off in Him before the world began. It’s an invitation to grasp the eternal Cross that envelops all of creation, revealing God’s glorious purpose apart from sin. Prepare to see your union with Jesus and your true destiny in a radically new light, moving beyond conventional understanding.
Now I’m going to tell you something you don’t know: that’s already happened. This has already happened. That new creation was before the foundation of the old creation. And because creation is in Him, that new creation is also over here. And we are that new creation. And this is a drama in between.
And that cross in Jerusalem was that moment when God allowed that which is not time—that cross, that slaying… Let me do it this way: that slaying is free of time. Can you understand? If there is no physical matter, there is no time. That cross is free of time. That cross is part of God.
He was slain before the foundation of the world. It’s free of time. He allowed time to intersect with that slaying. But that slaying took place first. And creation and all that was in it was slain before He created it. He created it already victorious, and His eternal purpose completed. And we have only begun to see the riches of the mystery of Christ. This is only the beginning of glory.
Daniel, whom shall you preach? Preach this Christ. Go beyond that. Show them this Christ. Go beyond that. Introduce them to this Christ. Go beyond that. Show them how to touch Him. And even go beyond that. Show them how to become one. A foretaste.
A foretaste—to touch oneness with Him, even in this life.
Now I’ll just say one other thing, very practical. We have another foretaste. Abel, never think the church is a small thing. And never think a gathering is a small thing. When you gather in Romania in a little place, a home, and the little parts are coming together. And they assemble Christ. That’s why it’s called the assembly. This is the assembling of Christ. You get those people together, you assemble Christ and let Christ free. Let the parts of Christ do whatever the parts of Christ do. There must be much going on when the parts of Christ come together. You are actually letting Romania see visibly your Lord. We will talk much more of this.
The church of Jesus Christ is a beautiful girl. And part of that girl comes together every time we assemble. Brothers, it’s up to you. And I am here to help you—to show you how when that girl gets together, all the pieces assemble. You can see that girl, and she’s beautiful. And you can’t do that when you’re sitting quietly singing songs, and listening to a sermon.
But boy, when she becomes what she is, she’s gorgeous. And she demonstrates to the principalities and the powers in heavenly places and on earth that they are defeated and destroyed. And the new creation is here—in Christ.
Now, I have told you too much. But if you don’t remember anything else, will you remember this? Just remember this one thing: this Christ I have just described to you walked around in Galilee. And He knew who He was and what He was doing. When you proclaim the Christ of Galilee, make sure you’re proclaiming the Christ of the Eternals.
And I have not begun to tell you about your Lord. And I have not begun to tell you of the riches of the glory that are hidden in Christ. Nor have I begun to declare to you the riches of the glory of His inheritance, which is you. And how glorious you are.
But at least we know that we were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. This creation was slain before it was created. And we know that the Book of Life had your name in it before all of this started. And that you’re in Christ. And that you’re in Christ.
