I was reading the fight between Jacob and the man who was man but God. Honestly I don’t get it but it was cool maybe more so stressful for Jacob than cool. At least at the end he was blessed. Nonetheless what a mystery!
But it shouldn’t be strange for us that follow Jesus. For Jesus is a man and God, he is the word yet flesh and is the bearer of the divine word (an angel) all at once. The mysteries of God are that, mysteries.
We get so hung up on the details and why or even how that we lose the point or can’t appreciate the moment in scripture or the mystery.
Paul when addressing the Corinthians on a similar issue speaks on this. They were too hung up on spiritual gifts that they missed the point. The spiritual gifts where what we had now they are imperfect gifts for an imperfect time.
They help us know but we only know in part, when that which is perfect has come then that which is partial will be done away with. We won’t need the gifts anymore because we will be with him.
In the same way, we know in part for now but we will fully know as we are fully known. (Not saying we will be all knowing) Meaning there are things we just won’t get until we are face to face so don’t let it be an obstacle to eternal life.
Because guess what, you never find out if you don’t follow 😅.
Don’t get hung up on the details, don’t try to be judge. You won’t understand everything and that is okay. Sometimes we just don’t get some magic tricks but it doesn’t make the trick any less amazing. Don’t let pride stop you from the truth.
I say to you he knocks and knocks and whosoever shall open the door he will come in to you and dine with you. Whosoever shall believe in the son shall be saved. This is his promise.
“if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Father, I pray for those who read this message and those who skip it. May you soften their hearts so that they can receive the truth that is good, the truth that many saint gladly died and suffered for. I give you all the glory in Jesus’ name. Amen.
