[The Glory Unveiled]
“The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it. ( Luke 16:16 )
From the time of Moses and the Patriarchs, the laws were preached and the prophets proclaimed the revealed counsel of God. Even before Moses the Patriarchs proclaimed what they knew to be the counsel of God to their families and world. But since John the Baptist came on the scene, the order changed. It’s like a company that always delivered a particular product but after some time, they changed the packaging of what they deliver. Now the company didn’t collapse nor change their name. The only thing that changed is the packaging of the initial product. For example, in the month of March this year, FanYoghurt packaged their yogurts differently. Instead of their normal designs on the wrappings, they decided to use a picture of the Big Six. They didn’t change the real product though, in fact the yogurt tasted exactly the same, if not better. The same is true for the dispensations of the counsel of God. The intention is the same, to get mankind back to Himself (God), but the approach or wrapping changed. Now a more attractive package is being used; the good news of the kingdom. The later part of the scripture says, “…and everyone is forcing his way into it”. We all would agree that good packages attract customers. The distributor of the good news has changed the wrappings because He needs you to get His product at all cost since He loves you. Have you encountered the LORD as Saviour? Do you have the Spirit that makes us children of God? If not, today is an opportunity. The product is a necessity product. We all need saving from the consequences of sin. And glory to God, we have a redeemer. Our role is to accept Him as such. If you would, pray the ‘prayer bead’ below.
Prayer_Bead: Lord Jesus, thank you for your ultimate sacrifice on the cross for me. I acknowledge that I need you. From today, be my Lord and Saviour. Amen!
