Analysis of Gospel Gems. Each Seven Words in Length. Many.
THE HOLY GHOST SHALL COME UPON THEE – Before Christ is formed in any individual the Holy Ghost will come, drawing, convicting and offering wisdom and comfort.
Little Mary freely offered herself into the agenda of God without reservation. She accepted the angel’s assurance that with God nothing shall be impossible. She did not stumble at any prospect of future inconvenience or fear of man.
SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD – The contentment of self-discovery does not come from an inventory of possessions, accomplishments or popularity.
Rather from a progressive understanding of God’s purposes in Creation and His merciful inclusion of the believer in the community of faith.
Only God satisfies the pre-determined empty space within us. We must first shine in our little corner actualizing little bits of Heaven, both as practice and preparation for the Grand Arrival of Returning King.
ENTER YE IN AT THE STRAIGHT GATE – Jesus described a counter-culture, a swimming against the current. This would not be a popular route or an obvious one.
Loving an enemy. Refusing to retaliate. Forgiving on every occasion. Giving beyond the norm. Considering only provision for today. Mortifying all unseemly thoughts. Fleeing from praise or flattery.
Eventually we will see the gathered Church of the Ages as a “little flock” in comparison to the numbers who could never abandon their self-love or lusts. Be advised friends.
