Though I don't expect to leave this world in the near future, I've been thinking of memorial service. This hymn came to mind that I wanted to include along with the scripture about building your house on sand! Couldn't remember the title so thankfully your web site helped me enormously. For me, having a hope that's alive, enables me not to "give up on God" but to patiently endure knowing that hope in God, does not disappoint.
Hard times always catch us by surprise but shouldn't if you are a child of the loving Father. This is the first song I run to when I hear of the woes of the New York Stock Exchange. People depended on people to be honest but greed has made that thinking seem naive. Trust the Lord with all your heart; lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will direct your path. On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand....can't find peace in ourselves unless the Christ lives within. Ask Him today, if you haven't already.
It's not just faith that my expectations are built on, but faith in the message of Jesus.
And in that message are amazing promises, outrageous hopes, and incredible assurances.
But the message is not enough. Anyone can write a spiritual science fiction version of some utopia, something we all would wish to be true.
However, the message of Jesus is built on the reality of who Jesus really is. Only God, with infinite resources and influence can finance such outrageous hopes that Jesus encouraged us to believe. Only God can do what is necessary to underwrite the cost of such startling glory.
And that is exactly who Jesus is, the Right Hand of God, The Only Begotton of the Father, The Word of the Very God, God with us...
The Father said of Jesus, "This is my Beloved Son, in whom I am very pleased. Listen to him!
God's dealing with His redeemed people through the Trinity was for the purpose of keeping them in the enjoyment of His riches through His divine dispensing. Without the Angel of Jehovah, Jehovah had no way to go with them in their midst. For Jehovah to be with His people, there was the need of the Angel. Today without Christ, God has no way to be with us. Furthermore, the cloud and the pillar of cloud were necessary for God to come to His people and stay with them. Similarly, today the Spirit, the pneumatic Christ, enables God to come to us and stay with us so that we may enjoy His presence. The crucified Christ as the cleft rock is our standing and hiding before the manifested God. Hymns, #298 says, "On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; / All other ground is sinking sand." Hymns, #206 says, "I stand upon His merit; / I know no other stand." Because the crucified Christ, Christ in His death, is our standing and our hiding, we can communicate with and contact God. The merciful and governmental God and the rebellious, stiff-necked people can be brought together only through the Angel, the pillar of cloud, the cleft rock, and the hand of Jehovah, which typify Christ as God's sent One, the pneumatic Christ, Christ in His death, and Christ as the covering in God's manifestation. Because of the operation of the Trinity in this way, we now enjoy God's continual presence. Moreover, He manifests Himself to us, and we see Him in a hidden way. We have a standing and a hiding, a covering. This all-inclusive care of the Divine Trinity is for the purpose of His remaining with us to dispense Himself for our enjoyment.
