Out of the above words radiates God’s eminent love in highest measure. Who and what are we, that the Almighty draws near in mercy to us sinners? Thereby we realize how much He loves His Creation and gives a world full of sin still opportunity for forgiveness and remission. Everything that is needful for it, God has given us through the acknowledgment of His Son! This is the highness (supreme power), which we are called to, that we should be partakers of the divine nature, the blessed love of God, which has come to us in Jesus Christ. The Lord can expect from us, that we will report to as many people as possible, of His redemption work. To tell them that the Lord wants to save all! The love of God is offered to them through us Apostolic Christians.
At an Easter Service we would have heard for certain through the word, of the joy inspiring exclamation of Jesus: ” … because I live, ye shall live also” (John 14:19). He is allowed to promise this, because the Heavenly Father gave everything into His hands. HE remained all His life sinless and did what the Father wanted Him to do. We read from the “precious and greatest” promises. And this all – just to be given freely – is unique! We shall be one with HIM and so be one in HIM! This happens foremost through Christ’s flesh and blood, which we eat and drink through the bread and wine we partake at the holy communion, so that His life takes over our life. (John 6:53-56) But through every Sunday partaking of the sacraments, the danger could arise of thoughtlessness and habit. May we think of this seriously, to take it honourably for our own salvation and to do it worthily. (one may read with this 1 Cor. 11:27).
We have three Sacraments. Baptism, Sealing and Holy Communion. They are a gift of godly power and love. In them also contains hidden previous and highest promises! Let us aim for the highest goal, through this threefold union on to which we are called to the Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ.
In our present base condition we surely feel that the share of the divine nature can only come to fruition and Christ’s love and holiness come to fullness in us, when we want nothing else but what Christ wants; when all sin and shame will be extinguished! Even though the divine nature is not fully impressed (stamped) upon us as yet, we are allowed to share in eternal life, by His mercy. This is also called salvation-assurance.
Disciples (men and women) of Jesus are in this world, but not of this world. (1 John 5: 4-5) The Hebrew letter in the 11th chapter, verse 13 says to us ” … that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.” May we live with a “healthy homesickness” for the promised eternal life, because it is certain that the Return of the Lord will come to pass!
“Soul, why do you weary yourself in the things of this earth, which soon will be consumed and dust and ashes become?
Search for Christ and His Light!
All else will be no help to you.” (Hymn)
