Summary: In Revelation, John writes several times over that God was and God is, and God is to come. -I think that makes God always relevant. With that said, listen to ‘The Day Of Time and Timelessness.’
The day of time and timelessness, and yet containing all time and times in the love of God.
God created time...Isaiah 1:18NLT ““Come now, let’s settle this,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.”
Redemption is an event in which are contained the past, the present, and the future, every moment of every sin…
In the past tense as it covers all the sins of the past…
In the present tense as it covers every present sin…
And in the future tense as it covers every present sin…that is not yet, but which will be…
Listen to these words in, 1 John 1:7NLT “But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.”
Messiah's death and redemption is the event of all times, of past, present, and future, that no sin and no event is beyond its power to touch and redeem.
Your future is already contained by your salvation ,and is covered by it. Ponder this fact, because of salvation, you can be peaceful and live in confidence.
Revelation 13:8 “And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered before the world was made.
For the love of God is not bound by time… It is time that is bound by the love of God. P.H
John 3:16-17NLT “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
The salvation power of God goes through time, salvation defeats everything that is contrary, and prideful, because salvation flows through the unending love of Jesus.. God makes a way for all to hear, for all to choose. P.H
The question is, Who has believed our message? To whom has the Lord revealed His powerful arm to?
Verse 2, He had no special beauty. Like a root out of dry ground! -Never despise small beginnings.
His mission has never been, “Hey look at me!”
Matthew 1:21ASV And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.
-Jesus would be His name! Jesus, Joshua in Hebrew. Joshua would lead Israel out of the wilderness.
-Jesus, lead humanity out!
Isaiah 53:3, He (Jesus) was despised and rejected a man, filled with sorrows, and acquainted with grief.
Did you know that the apostle Paul identified believers with the Lord Jesus Christ in 6 ways.
In His death, Romans, 6.3, 6.
In His burial, Romans 6.4
In His resurrection, Romans 8.11
In His life, Romans 5:10-11
In His power, Ephesians 1:19-20
In His inheritance, Romans 8:16-17.
Again, Isaiah 53:4, While Jesus was being mistreated, He carried our weakness’ and sorrows...
Matthew 8:17NLT This fulfilled the word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah, who said, “He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.”
