End of ages

The question has been asked, “What is man that you are mindful of him, the Son of man that you care for him?  Truly a ponderous question.

Who are we that God has created such a place as this?  And who is Christ Jesus that he should be sent to fulfill a new covenant between man and God?  He was even required to seal this new covenant with His blood.

We are witness to how creation moans and groans for a place of fulfillment.  And we ourselves look for a hope, indicating that we have not yet received that for which we hope.  Our hope finds fulfillment in the end of this age; and that by the beautiful sacrifice of he who was sent, even Christ Jesus.

But the writer of Hebrews tells us something marvelous.  Christ Jesus has come at the end of all ages in regard to creation.  “But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.”  ( Hebrews 9: 26)

We take note of the fullness of Christ’s sacrifice.  That he has, once and for all,  offered himself.  In his work for the Father creation finds fulfillment.  At the end of this age then, creation becomes complete.

From our moment of Transfiguration we enter into the perfect rest of God.  Who then are we that we should be considered?  We become the fulfillment of God’s creation as we are dressed completely in what is perfect and true.  We are the Bride of Christ for the sake of his glory.  Our Transfiguration will become final act of creation.

This adds purpose to the gospel.  All the more urgent is our need to witness and testify.  We speak of death.  But the sacrifice of Christ speaks of life, the eternal peace of God, and the end of creation; the work of establishing eternity.

There will not be another opportunity to secure your place among the people of God. There is destruction. There is no purgatory. What you do now is what you will be forever. Those who worship Christ Jesus, learn from him what is holy, and obey according to the father’s will, these alone will enter his time of rest at the end of all these creation ages.

Many men

Many men do the things that are good.  Thousands and millions, even now, give praise to God through Christ Jesus.  Forced to their knees in prayer by the Holy Love that is Christ, they give earnest prayer that their life might come to reflect the will of the living God.

His holy law is written on their hearts and seared into their mind.  And before the world awakes, these have come before Him that they may be prepared for the things the day will bring.  He will honor what is His.  And as he gives to them, they receive.

The world will see them all day long.  The world will see the witness that glows in all their actions and speech.  The world will know these men are different.  But they will not understand the reason or means for it.

Thousands and millions have received.  But millions and billions are yet blind, deaf and righteously infirm.  They do not have foundation of life. 

It is for the sake of these dead that Jesus has given what is His.  It is for the sake of the millions and billions that He dresses His people in righteous behavior.

Not one of His people were born righteous.  They are of those dead; those millions and billions of lifeless souls.  Their eyes have been opened and their ears released to hear. 

If you would be a part of them then ask.  Appeal to God.  Seek His face while it is yet dark.  Go into a secluded room.  And ask.  Make it your habit to seek the face of the Holy Lord.  For God is not willing that any should die.

He searches the earth to listen and to see. 

Finding those who bend a humble knee.

Those who cry out loud, “God forgive me!”

These catch the attention of HE.
