Wisdom of God is capable of a strict demonstration, that it can't err
Christ is capable of a strict demonstration, that He can't err.

What strict demonstration can the Wisdom of God do?
Always had contrived a way for the manifestation of both strict justice
and Sovereign mercy. And in such a way that they agree together.

The Blind Mole, A Great Snake, and The illuminating power of the Supreme Firefly
There once was a land of moles. They burrow underground and also came out at night. All the moles were blind. Born that way without any eyes.
There lived a great snake that ate the blind moles. He was quite crafty. He would have many ways to capture the moles. But some moles no matter what he did he could not catch and eat them.
There also live a Supreme Firefly, He would glow in the dark like no other firefly ever did. Sometimes the Supreme Firefly would put some of His light in the mole. Once the light was in the mole then he would be able to see the snake coming. Even though the great snake would try other more crafty methods of capturing the seeing moles, none of them would work.

The White Peacock "Holiness"
There once was a white peacock name Glory. Glory was white all over. He was the most beautiful of all the peacocks. When He flares out His feathers Glory looks most beautiful.
Glory would not display His beauty to just any female peacock. Glory specifically chose who He wanted to see Him in all His beauty.
A special thing would happen when Glory showed off His beauty. First Glory would choose who He wanted to reveal Himself to. (Matt. 11:27)
After Glory chose who he would reveal Himself to then He would go near them and flare out His most beautiful feathers. This would attract the bride that Glory chose. She would see His beauty as He revealed it to her and she would fall in love with Him. They would be together forever living happily ever after through a marriage that would last forever.

White peacocks are not albinos; they have a genetic mutation that is known as Leucism, which causes the lack of pigments in the plumage. Albino animals and birds have a complete lack of color and red or pink eyes while White peafowl have blue eyes. The white color appears in other domestically bred peafowl but in different quantities. Chicks are born yellow and become white as they mature, according to the Peafowl Varieties Database. Indian peafowl of all colors, including white, have pink skin.

Questions to ask yourself
- When you read about Jesus, do you worship Him like Moses did?
- When you think of Jesus do you immediately do what He wants you to do like Moses in Exodus 34:8?
- When you think of God/Jesus do you see Him very big and yourself small like Moses in Exodus 34:8?

Names of Christ 3 "Beloved"
The Father is the Lover and the Son is the Beloved. The Father Loves the Son.
The Father loves the Beloved.
The Father is perfect in every way so is the Son. The Father is most beautiful as is the Son. The father has an Idea of Himself. The Father loves this idea of Himself. It Doesn't get any better than that!! This Idea of Himself that the Father has is His Son.
The Father had always been seeing the Son. There in eternity past the Father always loved the Son.
Ephesians 1 ....In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself,according to the kind intention of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.
the Beloved is the Son
the Beloved is loved by the Father
the Son is loved by the Father
The Love the Father has to the Son is eternal, infinite and immutable
You are loved with the same Love the Father has for His Son by you being in the Beloved!!
Colossians 1:15

Colossians 1:15
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation."
If God were to have an image of Himself, Himself all over again, then I'm sure this image of Himself would be God's idea of Himself. God having all knowledge including knowledge of Himself.

Names of Christ 2 "First and the Last" "Alpha and Omega" "Author and Finisher"
Tommy boy asks, "Where did we come from?"
Dad answers, "Jesus made it all. First there was Jesus then us."
Tommy boy thinks out loud, "So is Jesus like the first letter of the alphabet."
Dad wonders, "How so?"
Tommy boy says, "Well, there's the first letter of the alphabet. Then all the rest. Jesus is first then all of us."
Dad chuckled, "Yes, Jesus is like the first letter of the Alphabet."
Tommy pondered these things in his head for a while. Then Tommy asks "Did Jesus think of creating the world before he did it?
Dad answered him, "Yes, Jesus did think of making the world before He actually spoke it into existence."
Tommy understands and says, "So Jesus is the Author of the world! He is First, Alpha and Author"
Dad says, "Yes, Jesus is the First and the Last, Author and Finisher, and Alpha and Omega."
Was John the Author of that book?
Was John the only Author of the book of John in the Bible?
Me babling,
Dad adds more to further on Tommy's understand by letting him know, "Jesus did it to show off what he could do." Jesus could do what only God could do. God can only create something out of nothing and so can Jesus. Jesus is God and does all things for His Glory, so that all things are from Him and through Him and to Him, to God be the glory. So He is the first reason for everything and the Last reason for everything. Jesus is also the Author of History and the Finisher of it all. Jesus is the Alpha and Omega. Jesus is the Glory of the Father. The Father Glory is the Alpha and Omega.
But then he had another question, "Why did He create the world?"
Dad said, Jesus created the world for His Glory.
There once was the Word and His name was Author. He was the First Original Author of it all. He thought of everything before it ever was. Author had it all in mind always before the world was created. Author was the source and originator of creation.
