Week 3 Love Letters
The Bible is filled with words that were never meant to be a legal study for examination purpose, or a script to be learnt off by heart for recital or even a moral compass by which all life members are kept in line. The Scriptures were written to reveal the nature of the Author and His intention for having a family forever. Christ, the Word fleshed out, reveals His Father’s love and demonstrates how the man-God fulfilled the Law, in order to liberate law breakers. When we were born again in Christ, we became living letters, written by the Spirit to be read out aloud by society. The words He spoke become the words that shape our life’s narrative and we can make for great reading either way - but when Word becomes flesh in us - His Love is alive and active!
Mystical Union
Jesus Christ - the mystery of all ages revealed to us - did not come to conscript us into aesthetic lifestyle devoid of joy or imagination. Rather He came to earth personally, in response to the eternal desire for the Trinity to have unbroken fellowship with the people that they had created in their own image and likeness. The union that results from being in a New Covenant with God through His Son, makes us conduits of irrepressible life and disciples of a most supernaturally loving disposition. When the last supper becomes our feast of favour, we no longer measure life and success according to planetary confinement, but rather according to the measure of Christ - life flowing freely out of us.
