[The Glory Unveiled]
Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. ( 1 Corinthians 8:6)
Many scriptures of the Bible open our hearts and minds to the heart of our faith. Such scriptures expose the why of our faith for which we have confidence. Many an apostle of the new Testament revelation makes statements that may be considered by other people as egotistical or prideful as a result of their confidence. But with the understanding unveiled to them from God’s infallible word, they cannot but to boast in the cross of Christ. In today’s scripture for meditation we see enshroud in the verse, the place of Christ and His necessity. We believe that all things come from the Father and we live for Him but after the fall of man, we couldn’t receive from the Father and we couldn’t live for Him either. So the reconciliation of man to God had to happen in Christ so that by faith in Him, we could receive from God the Father and live for Him. And now, by faith in Christ Jesus, we receive all things of heavenly descent through Him and we live the God kind of life which hitherto was our natural life through Him. So that though we are away from home in this body, we are one with God in Christ. The hidden mystery being that, Christ Jesus has become unto us all we could be to God and all God could be to us. Jesus is the mystery the gods of the age couldn’t decipher else they would not have crucified him [having made a way of escape for us by His sacrifice]. Jesus is our way of escape from the harshness of the world and the punishment of sin. He is also our entry into God and all His fullness and glory.
Prayer_Bead: Father of all souls, thank you for reconciling me unto yourself through Christ Jesus by His death in my place. Thank you Lord Jesus.
