SELFLESS

Selfless In this Memorial season I do soberly reflect only to imagine a collective awed silence regarding Michael's 'appointed' solemn prospect, while still proactive in all their universal activity all his 'faithful' brothers working together towards a reversal back to 'absolute' harmony: checking galaxies, our sun, moons, rain, people seeking justice from a time of when 'sin' had been spun as delicious 'freedom' for everyone... Imagine the effect of Michael's vacancy felt when Jehovah's 'only-begotten' one left; was sent from heaven's highest presence-- God's holy glorious throne. Lent to mankind... What a strange atmosphere dealt while Jehovah endured his 'first-born's' non-existence from his only home known. No longer before his angelic brothers whom he helped to create: "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him and for him." Col. 1:15, 16. Shown: A Selflessness otherwise 'unknown'... Of this it is difficult for us to relate: Even an imperfect first-born beloved child sent to die for a world which, in general, loves to hate due to a satanic rebellion induced by discontentment and/or jealousy producing rivalry in all its divisiveness to global date... Can you not envision this scene: After strengthening discussions between Jah and his firstborn Son- called the 'Word', as the two of them heard exchanged professions of love towards each other and our world; afterwards, directions on how to complete that difficult assignment: Vacate your magnificent station, to an unknown evocation as 'child' unborn; to be raised by imperfect parents diligent to righteousness adorn until 'restored' previous memories of alongside your beloved Father adored and 'why' you descended upon belligerent nations to a violent earth not concerned with the 'truthfulness' of God; uncomfortable with 'true' brotherly relationships for the devil, 'the father of the lie' controlled the world using King Herod to try and eliminate this incoming King of God's kingdom without whom mankind could never gain salvation. Yes, Christ died as a 'blasphemer' to redeem mankind. His Father whom he greatly esteemed and who he would NEVER deny as loyally stated by Christ, today in comisery and gratitude reiterated to all honest-hearted ones in elation: "Now there is a judging of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. And yet I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all sorts of men to myself.” John 12:31, 32. So, "we do see Jesus, who was made a little lower than angels, now crowned with glory and honor for having suffered death, so that by God’s undeserved kindness he (Christ) might taste death for everyone." Heb. 2:9. Their joint expressions of love overlooked for centuries, though of 'priceless' worth... *** "Jesus spoke these things, and raising his eyes to heaven, he said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your son so that your son may glorify you". John 17:1. "I have glorified you on the earth, having finished the work you have given me to do. So now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was." John 17:4, 5. *** "To the increase of his rulership And to peace, there will be no end, On the throne of David and on his kingdom In order to establish it firmly and to sustain it Through justice and righteousness, From now on and forever. The zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this." Isa. 9:7. "For to this end Christ died and came to life again, so that he might be Lord over both the dead and the living." Rom. 14:9. "Walk while you still have the light, so that darkness does not overpower you; whoever walks in the darkness does not know where he is going." John 12:35. "For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and for the sake of the good news will save it." Mark 8:35.*** YOU ARE INVITED Memorial of Jesus’ Death Friday, April 15, 2022 Jesus instituting the Lord’s Evening Meal with his faithful apostles.
