Week 6 Glorious Suffering
The world is in an endemic state of suffering and the people of God have been scattered in their opinions of where the world stands with God. As the ecclesia mature in Love, we become His glorious representation that He always intended for us to be and we can administer the judgement that His love brings when Justice comes dressed as Salvation. We are created to suffer with Him - never without Him and it is for this gospel that true suffering can come. I trust this session brings closure to self judgement and opens the pathway of grace for the breath of God to bring grace to every part of our lives. When life’s twists and turns no longer leave us twisted, then the sweetest wine of healing runs in our veins and we can be willing conduits of glory.
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.
