Building Relationships Through God's Love

We welcome July with a repentant heart. There are things happening in this world that are changing the way we see normal. Places are opening with restrictions. Some people are realizing what foolishness is happening.  God is winning battles. Even though it looks like we have certain major losses, God is winning. We are in an amazing time and the world will never be the same again.

​Scripture of the Week: Matthew 5:14-16    
“You are light for the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Likewise, when people light a lamp, they don’t cover it with a bowl but put it on a lampstand, so that it shines for everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”

Finishing the Lessons, The First Return

4/24/2019

 
Jesus returned and had the Apostles move out to Galilee to finish the teachings. Since many of the lessons were not understood while He was in the mortal form, Jesus now had the opportunity to help them realize the truth in a way that only the Apostles were privy to. I would love to have been a fly on the wall while these lessons continued.
Think on how the Apostles must have felt seeing their teacher as a new being, the second Adam. What wonders He could have told them and the Spirit that was shown. They were probably still in shock for quite a few days after realizing the truth and understanding that they too would eventually become Spirit beings. The Joy that they must have been encompassed by when in His presence. I can only imagine the peace that surrounded their every thought, the Love that they finally could understand.
Peter and the others that fled must have really felt inadequate to be in His presence. John somehow knew that everything would be all right. They were truly blessed. I do feel a bit sorry for Thomas though. Think about the embarrassment he must have felt at the same time being speechless in His presence.
Just over a month after the Resurrection, Jesus would spend finishing the secret knowledge instructions to the men and women present. All the while forgiving Peter and sending them on their missions. The truth that Peter spoke is now the cornerstone of the believer’s faith and trust.
How precious is the knowledge that God gave to us through the sharing of the Holy Word by physically showing us how we are to live a right life. That the Son of God understood and followed the will of the Father even to His death so that the blood and water which held the living Word was spilt on the altar of the world to cleanse us all. That He came back to complete the second part of the mission through the Great Commission and the promise of His final return to take us home.
Brothers and Sisters the time is now that we must be vigilant in keeping His Word on our hearts and let it light up our lives so that we can shine for Him in this dark world. My prayer is that the Holy Spirit sparks our lights so bright that no darkness can overtake us ever again. With God, no evil can overtake us, without God we are lost. Let us seek the lost so they may be found and God receives the inheritance that is rightly His, the complete relational communion in Love, Peace, Hope, and Joy combined into one.
Blessings,
Rob, Servant of God
