May I speak boldly? For awhile I’ve been thinking about the parallels between when Christ came to the earth and the days we are living in. When Jesus arrived on the scene the Jews were pretty secure in their favored position as God’s chosen people. They had confidence in what God had said through the prophets, but they were also blind to the revelation contained in the Holy Word to be revealed at the appointed time. That revelation was of course the incarnation of God to restore the Kingdom into the hands of mankind.
As Christians, we too have become somewhat blind to the immensity of what Christ accomplished on the cross and have relegated His accomplishment to only apply to a select few. Christ died once for all. Now, am I saying that there is no obligation on our part to believe this truth. Of course not! But God’s patience towards us is as immense as His sacrifice and more so His victory.
There is certainly another reformation on the way! The eyes of hearts are about to be unveiled once again to see how the Holy Spirit is being poured out on all flesh. How collectively, we come to a greater understanding of WHO HE IS in us and around us. He is restoring all things to Himself and we will watch as the millennial Kingdom unfolds before our eyes. Please do not limit the faithfulness and magnificence of the Glory to be revealed.
If you’d like to read more about our position as heirs through the life, death and resurrection of Christ, “Sit, Walk, Stand” by Watchman Nee is timely for this hour.
