The Daily Word of Righteousness
Fifty-two Kingdom Concepts, #29
Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. (John 14:23)
The feast of Tabernacles is beginning now as Christ is being formed in us. The Church is in travail that Christ might be formed in the members of His Body. But the fullness of Tabernacles, which is the coming of the Father and the Son to dwell forever in that which has been formed in us, and the final filling of our body with the incorruptible Life of the Holy Spirit of God, may be a bit ahead of us. But the all important preparation must take place now. The fullness of the Tabernacles experience cannot be experienced in one dramatic moment. It requires the step by step progress that occurs as we pass through the spiritual fulfillments of the preceding six feasts. Yet, for all of that, we have all the feasts when we have Christ. It is a matter of working out that which we already posses.
It is as though God has freely given us a grand piano. Now we have to learn how to play it.
We may think of the fulfillment of the seven feasts as being a spiral staircase. We keep ascending, but we keep coming back to the same feast, but now on a higher level. I know the blood of Passover is more real to me than ever before; repentance and water baptism are more meaningful; the born-again experience is more comprehensive.
We are not climbing rungs on a ladder, we are experiencing more and more of the one Lord Jesus Christ.
The understanding of "Christ in you" began with me in the late 1940s. It remains as the centerpiece of my doctrine. All that God has done with me over the last fifty years has been an unfolding of that one glorious revelation.
I remember when a distinguished elder taught us there was more to come after Pentecost. I was so lifted up at the thought that I actually had an out of body experience while sitting in my Greek class in Bible school, if you can imagine. I had to make myself come back down from the ceiling into my body so I could remember the Greek lesson I had studied diligently.
Those were glorious days, but today the revelation of Christ is much, much more glorious. I hope it is that way with you.
To be continued.
