Two Men part 4

12/25/2017 19:31

Two men. Also known as two mindsets, if I can say it that way. Adam, of the earth, earthy. Tied to the earth realm, or the sense realm. Walking by sight, but stumbling around because in the beginning it was dark. The light of the world wasn't shining yet. The light that Jesus is. The light that we...

I mean, realistically, there's only the One man. The Son of man. Jesus. I've said a couple of times in this Rant series that the only two men who have ever lived (Jesus and Adam) both died on the cross. Jesus drew all men into Himself when He was lifted up from the earth on the cross. And then He...

In the eyes of God, there are only two men who have ever lived. The first Adam (man's representative before the cross), and the last Adam--Jesus. And here's the difference, "You have come to Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood, which...

In my favorite Western (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) they spend the whole three hours of the movie talking about how there are two kinds of people. My favorite part is when its time to dig up the grave full of treasure and Clint Eastwood (who is holding the loaded gun) says, "There's two kinds...

New Beginning part 5

The New Beginning is all about, well, NEW. Not the same old same old. Not another crack at trying your best, and good luck to you. No, it is literally the life of God (Who IS life) filling us to overflowing and bursting out through the seams. Its about the abundant, everlasting, eternal,...

The best part--the very best part--about the New Beginning that came into fulness on the cross... is that what came before doesn't matter. Who you used to be isn't who you have to be. Your actions, especially your "mistakes," don't define you. Let me say it like this: You are not what people call...

The best thing about the New Beginning that the cross brought about is that it wasn't just Jesus pressing a reset button for us so that we could try again; it was much more than that. Much better than that. Because we didn't just get another chance at life as we knew it. We got HIS life. Jesus gave...

New Beginning part 2

First there was the beginning. Of the story. When God created heaven and earth. The mind and the body. You. The beginning of YOUR story. And in the beginning of your story you didn't know very much. Babies don't. And that doesn't mean babies are bad. My son, Logan, doesn't like babies because they...

New Beginning part 1

I like the creation story. Always have. And people sometimes ask me about it: "Do you really believe Adam was the first man on earth?" Like that's the point of the story. Look at Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." So if there was already God, then what does the...

Temple part 5

12/16/2017 19:37

Jesus said He would tear down the temple and rebuild it in three days. That's what happened on the cross. That's what happened to us. We are the temple that He made without hands. We are the dwelling place of the living God. He lives in us. He lives through us. He lives as us. God expressed Himself...
