John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
Through out the Old Testament God the Father sent his word through
dreams,
and visions to the prophets.
But it wasn't enough and never could restore that which was lost
in the Garden of
So God brought the law as a container for his creation; it was a
framework for man
To abide in. A set of rules that
would keep him alive and separate him from becoming
like the animals in the field, and it was also
designed to keep mans ultimate
dependency rooted in God.
Even so the law was external to mans heart, but it did bring a
sense of righteousness
And order, but it was still only a pain killer to relive the
constant ache of mans
Seperation from his father It could not restore him into the
relationship that all of
Creation was longing for:
Romans 8:19 The earnest expectation of the creation eagerly awaits the
revealing of the sons of God.
And that the Father so desperately wanted, the law could not
restore the relationship
that was before the fall, the relationship of
Father and son.
So God used the ultimate expression of him self and his will
the flesh, God did by
sending his own son.
Jesus, the living breathing, expression of his
heart and will. To come and live and
abide amongst us.
Jesus took off his royal heavenly robes and put on the garment of
humble flesh and
came down to earth to bring the very life and
light of God.
beheld His glory, the glory
as of the only begotten of the Father, full of
grace and of truth.
So we see the Fathers will made known through the living word,
Jesus.
We see Jesus heal the sick, raises the dead, miracle after miracle
to make known the
word and the heart of God. Then ultimately when
Jesus has shown the love of God
manifest, he goes still further and through his
sacrifice on
door in Heaven that cannot be shut.
(Rev 3:8) I know your works. Behold, I have given
before you an open door, and no one can shut it. For you have a little strength
and have kept My Word and have not denied my name.
The door that Sin had securely closed Jesus smashed down and
become as Isaiah said
the Restorer of the breach.
Giving every man woman and child the choice of eternal life
through his death and
Resurection on the Cross-. We can come now as
the redeemed and restored, we can
through our choice accept Jesus as Lord, and
we can through his salvation become
Totally flooded with his life and love and know the life of God in
this earthen vessel.
But the truly amazing thing is that through Jesus sacrifice the
word of God is again
living but this time it also lives in us.
And as Jesus the Holy lamb of God we
become the very expression of the Father,
through the transforming power of the cross.
Like Jesus we can heal the sick, set the captives free, we are
anointed to bring Gods
Oil of Joy and Garment of praise, we are filled with the Holy
Spirit giving us the very
Gospel fire.
But what does that mean for us now, in a world that cannot see the
truth for the lies,
cannot hear the calling voice of God above
the noise of our own business.
John 6:63 it is the Spirit that makes alive, the flesh profits
nothing. The
words that I speak to you
are Spirit and are life.
Through his spirit in us we are truly living, and when we speak
from this life in us the
words
that we speak will bring the life of God to the hardest heart.
Our word will make the difference of life and death to some one.
It is truly that
simple.
Do we choose to speak the words of life or not.
Jesus asked his disciples after this, are you going to turn away
too?
And they rightly said
John 6:68 Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the Words of eternal
life.
John 6:69 And we have believed and have
known that You are the
Christ, the Son of the living God.
It really is our choice though. To believe who we are in Christ,
to truly believe that
our witness could be the last chance, the last defense and barrier against an
eternity
separated from the light of God in Hell.
