COME LET US REASON TOGETHER

Come dear saints and let us reason together of the image of Christ. So many times we get things backwards in the kingdom. Many times it is due to the traditions of men. Grandma and grandpa believed it this way mom and dad believed it this way the church has believed this way for generations, therefore it must be right. Not so beloved. When you drive around and see the Christmas decorations what do you see? A manger scene with Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus. After all we are celebrating the birth of Jesus. Think about it my friends. A helpless baby Jesus who is 2 thousand years old? What is wrong with this image. Is He not King of Kings and Lord of Lords? Has He not defeated the gates of the enemy? Has He not brought healing and salvation to the world? When we celebrated our first birthday we were treated and honored as a helpless babe however when we celebrated our 30th birthday we were given the honor and respect of an adult with wisdom and talents and authority. We would be humiliated to be treated as a helpless babe. It would be disrespectful. Have you ever driven by a yard at Christmas time and seen a powerful Jesus dressed in the robe of a KING? A KING sitting at the right hand of God? A KING who will return to rule the nations with a rod of Iron? Why not? How do you see Jesus? Maybe we have our images backwards? I love the image of Jesus spoken of in the book of revelation. Rev 1:11... I am alpha and omega, the first and the last and what you see write in a book....and in the midst of the 7 golden candlesticks, one like the son of man clothed with a garment down to the foot, and a girt around the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool as white as snow and his eyes were a flame of fire and his feet unto fine brass as if they burned in a furnace and his voice as the sound of many waters. And in his right hand seven stars and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword. And his continence was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him I fell at his feet as if I were dead. And he layed his right hand on me and said...fear not for I am the first and the last. I am he that liveth and was dead and behold I am alive forever more amen and have the keys of hell and death. Now beloved that is am image of power and authority and maturity. A fearsome image. No milk toast baby there. Come saints of God and let us reason together the image of Christ. Food for thought love ya, Linda
