Slice of Life
Luke 6:22-23 Blessed are ye, when men
shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and
shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's
sake. (23) Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your
reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto
the prophets. (KJV)
For those that know the doctrine of
Christ and the true liberty that we have in Him, they know that they had to
die to self, hate their own life in order to find the new life in the Son
of God. For those of you that are not a big hit with mankind please don’t
take it personally, because all we are is mailmen who deliver the message and
then let them deal with it from there.
John 5:39-41 Search the scriptures; for
in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of
me. (40) And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. (41) I
receive not honour from men. (KJV)
When you do a thorough search of the
scriptures you see that they go beyond just the realm of the son of man,
and they point us to the Son of God in order to have a complete
understanding of them. You will find in your walk that the more you hold
God to be true, the less you will be a hit with a fallen mankind. This is
what truly separates the men from the boys Church, when you are more
concerned with pleasing God and much less concerned with what man thinks.
John 5:42-44 But I know you, that ye have
not the love of God in you. (43) I am come in my Father's name, and ye
receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
(44) How can ye believe, which receive honour one
of another, and seek not the honour that cometh
from God only? (KJV)
Jesus Christ brought a much deeper
revelation to mankind, which went beyond the outward man and into the inner
workings of the Spirit when He revealed the name of Christ and all that is
available to us through that name. Today many would rather flock to a big
name according to the son of man and would ignore some unknown person even
though they are bringing the doctrine of Christ, the name which is above
every name.
Philippians 2:9-11 Wherefore God also
hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: (10)
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and
things in earth, and things under the earth; (11) And that every tongue
should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (KJV)
Hey when you really think about it the
enemy of our Lord is described as being the spirit of antichrist, because
he doesn’t want to see the name which is above every name take the people
above and beyond to the realm that they need to be operating in. The name
of Jesus describes accurately the Son of man; however, in order to have a
complete understanding of the mystery of the gospel one needs to know and
attach the name of Christ as well, the Son of the living God. Like verse 11
says, it is something that we should be confessing.
