1 Timothy 3:14-16, Psalm 111:1-6, Luke 7:31-35
1 Timothy 3:14-16
We are all members of the family of the household of God and
anyone who sees us must recognize us a such by our conduct, our speech, and our
actions. The Church is our Mother . Christ is the Head of His Church and we are
its members, the body of Christ. He is
her rock, her cornerstone and her foundation.
She is His bride for whom He lay down His life in order that she may
live. Someday He will present her
without wrinkle or stain to His Father and she will be united eternally with
Him.
He is the First Born and through adoption we are His
brothers and sisters, children of the Most High God with whom He shares His
inheritance. We call God Abba because He
has given us His Spirit. Our mission is
to tell the whole word of Him and that salvation comes from Him alone and that
He desires that all be saved and come to the knowledge of Truth.
Psalm 111:1-6
Verse 5
5 Always
mindful of his covenant,
he provides food for those who fear him.
The Bread of Angels separates us from the rest
of the world. Feasting daily at His banqueting
table we are transformed each day in His image and likeness and we reflect Him
more and more as we live, move and have our being in God who became
incarnate for our sakes.
Luke 7:31-35
We are a perverse, stubborn, hard headed people. Over 2000
years have passed since Your coming and one would imagine the whole world would
be converted to You by now. But we are
sinners who prefer the broad and easy path.
You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and the way to
heaven is the way of the Cross. It is
only by laying down our life that we will gain it. You came into the world and we recognize You
as the Son of God but we are too afraid to follow You because we are afraid of what
our discipleship to You might cost us.
What fools we are Lord – we are created for You and we will
never know perfect peace or joy until we surrender our whole being to You.
All those who know that they are the children of the Father and
who belong totally to God have been given a foretaste of heaven.
Keep us faithful to the end my Beloved.
