Why does the following slice of logic escape the mind of the “wise”?
You make revisions to the laws of God, and you pat yourself on the back for accomplishing such a grand victory. But you fail to take notice that the law you have revised is only a copy of the original.
The original law of God remains in heaven and eternity, far beyond the reach of an eraser and pencil. Tell me then, what is the substance of your so called victories?
Many times death comes unannounced. People fall in their tracks, as they work out the things of the day. Sometimes death comes in a protracted celebration. Some people suffer on their bed for moments, while others suffer on their bed for years.
If I am blessed to spend my celebration on a deathbed, there will be joy in me. Though my face be racked with pain. Though my body convulse in agony. There will be that unspeakable joy of his promise.
How is it possible for any Christian to have a differing view of these things? As we believe, so is his promise extended. As we believe, so the Christian receives.
By His Grace
From Eternity, he was Faultless.
Restrained in body, just the Same.
And since death had no claim upon him,
He bid it, “Have free reign”.
“IT IS FINISHED!”

Eternal Majesty, robed in flesh.
The Majesty of God, walked among us.
And as he hung up on the cross,
Majesty was willingly clothed with oblivion.
“And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.”
———————————–
The Christ of God is risen from the dead!
He is seated forever at the right hand of the Most High God!
Let all the world hear the proclamation!
To those who know:
Do not seal it up!
The Christ is God forever!
“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.” (Hebrews 4:15)

Today is the day, established by men, to give one another gifts. They say it is to honor the Holy One of God.
Will you know the nature of the True Gift of God? Is your soul strong enough to learn?
39 Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”
40 Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”
41 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”
How does the “giving” of man, to one another, compare? The Holy One of God offers the gift of Life. Will you stash it under green boughs? Will you wrap it in flammable paper? Will you place the names of the dead within the labels?
What man gives rots, even as he prepares it to be received with joy. But what God, in Christ Jesus, gives is a growing body of life; pure Light of Holy Life.
Will you pray with humility of soul, at the opening of each gift today? Will you strive to give proper place to the Holy Gift of God? Eye entrancing beauty adorns the gifts of men. But the precious Holy Blood of the Son of God adorns the eternal offer.

If I speak to receive the praise of men, can those words be words of God? Yet if I am to speak words of any value, they must belong to the One who is eternally valuable.
I have seen how men praise one another for gallant and faithful action. As if what is good can be borne among men. If I join them in this praise where is my allegiance? For anything that is truly good is born and borne of God.
Let the world praise their heroes. I will honor, with worship, God’s hero: Jesus The Christ.
I say the following, knowing there will be misunderstanding: ‘I have come to despise the honor of men”.
Men honor the ones who do good to and for them. As a man may lay down his life (to whatever portion) for his fellow brother, he is honored.
All the while, it is easy for them to despise the One who made them. The One who truly loves them. The One whom they have murdered. The One who is shunned among them, even to this day.
Such honor of man is important among men, but only if it teaches us to treat The Living God with severe honor. But this is not the definition used by men.
Men are paid to do what is good. They are paid with money or fame; a type of immortality is placed on the mantle. By this, men purchase honor. Is it then truly honor? Or does man hold one another hostage for the sake of reward?
But there is one who came, that he may do the will of the One who is forever Good. Laying aside all possible human reward, he gave of himself without quarter. What honor of man can compare? Yet what distinct lack of honor men give him.
Every man knows this! It is willing ignorance which keeps it hidden. Willfully they are led to the pageantry of honor for those who are less than He.
They gladly stand at parades and wave their national flag. Even a tear or two may be seen. But mention the Living God’s Christ in a crowd of men and you will see them quietly disperse. So man’s definition of Honor is defined.
This will not change until the Holy One is revealed. But I am allowed to despise this hypocrisy of man.
