The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Servant of the Lord, continued
He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. (Isaiah 42:2)
Dear friends and gentle hearts, let us proceed with our description of the Servant of the Lord.
The Servant of the Lord, the Christ, the Messiah proclaimed in the Book of Isaiah, includes the Lord Jesus Christ, the exalted Head, and all who are an integral part of Him. We become an integral part of Christ, of Messiah, by first being born of Him and then by abiding in Him throughout our discipleship until He comes to maturity in us.
He, Christ, is the Vine. We are the branches from the one true Vine. We are not a bunch of little christs running around, we are part of the one true and only Anointed Deliverer from God.
The Lord Jesus Christ came to deliver the members of His Body and to make them oaks of righteousness. When we grow up in the Head our job will be to serve as rulers and priests of those whom God has spared from destruction, that is, the members of the saved nations. They are our inheritance. Without the saved nations we would have no inheritance. Right?
Fruit does not appear on the Vine but on the branches. As we abide in Christ His Life causes righteous, holy, and obedient behavior to be seen in our personality. When the nations see our good works they will glorify God.
We are the moral light of the world because the one true Light of God is being formed in us.
It is the plan of God that Jesus Christ, and we as an integral part of Him, fill all of the creation so that righteousness, holiness, and obedience to God is seen everywhere. This is the Father's solution to the rebellion of Satan and his angels.
We are the one Seed of Abraham if we are part of Christ. There are not two seeds, a Jewish seed and a Gentile seed, there is only the one Seed, that is, Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, only Christ, only one new Man.
The Church is looking for Christ to come and whisk us away to Heaven. How ridiculous! How utterly illogical and unscriptural! How mythological! (I just ran out of adjectives.)
Take the light, the witness, the branches of the Vine, to Heaven? Why? This is crazy!
What about the world? What do you think the world is going to do without the salt, the light, the Presence of God in Christ in the saints?
No, the Day of the Lord is not the going of Messiah it is the coming of Messiah.
The world is so fouled up it is incredible. "Hello to all of you from the moral cesspool of Southern California. Greetings to you in your cesspool."
Murder, rape, abortion, perversion, torture, cannibalism abound. How wonderful are our First Amendment rights. Let us now concentrate on football and baseball for they certainly are more significant than the trouble in the Middle East or the realignment of the super powers. Sheesh!
To be continued.
