These are not just words on a page. These are words of Revelation to reveal GOD to us. To reveal our brother to us – how he lived and breathed.
We have Perfect JESUS revealed in Scripture for us. The perfect JESUS imputed to us. And then we read of our brother Paul, like us not perfect, but like us having the imputed perfection/Righteousness of JESUS, is revealed in part to us in this Text, how he lived, how he loved, how he spoke.
If GOD can do it (and He did) in him (Paul), HE can do it in us.
Isaiah! I’ll say it again, Isaiah! Are you reading it?
Why not?!
Chapter 65! And 62 and 63 and 64. Oh and 61!
65:22 No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit, nor plant for others to eat. For as is the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, and My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands.
Wow! Long life and full enjoyment in the work of living!
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
