Face To Face
Scripture
When I awake in heaven, I will be fully satisfied, for I will see You face-to-face.
Psalm 17:15, TLB
Quote
“It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to.”
~C. S. Lewis
My Thoughts
“At present we are on the outside or the wrong side of the door. We discern the freshness and purity of morning, but they do not make us fresh and pure. We cannot mingle with the splendors we see. But all the leaves of the New Testament are rustling with the rumor that it will not always be so. Someday, God willing, we shall get in.” {C.S. LEWIS, The Weight of Glory} Christ is going to reveal Himself to us and we shall see HIM as He really is. At present we have His mystical presence. The Holy Spirit, our spiritual helper is with us to guide and comfort us but one day, maybe soon, Christ will appear and we will be in His very presence. Peter said, You love him even though you have never seen Him. Though you do not see Him now, you trust Him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting Him will be the salvation of your souls.moreThere is coming a day, maybe soon when Christ will be revealed and we will be in His actual presence just like the twelve disciples. When you do see Him, you will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye you will be glorified.
It will be worth it all
When we see Jesus
Life’s trials will seem so small
When we see Christ
One glimpse of His dear face
All sorrow will erase
So bravely run the race
Till we see Christ
Coach sang a song Sunday that touched my heart. I don’t think I had ever heard this song before. It is called FACE TO FACE.
Yes, there’s a day coming soon
Where the old will be made new
And Heaven’s glory shines like the morning
Before our eyes
When we all see Jesus
No more sickness , no more madness, no more pain
When we all see Jesus face to face
I do believe with all my heart that one glimpse of His face with bring total healing. People have the idea that when Jesus returns, there will be a war but I do not adhere to such theology. No one will be able to stand against the very author of life. Jesus is the one who gives us life, energy, strength and being. I am telling you folks, with just one look, He can shut down the planet. No one will oppose HIM. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess…JESUS IS IN CHARGE. It may be a struggle for us to subdue our enemies {pride, lust, greed, etc.} but Jesus will have no struggle. One word from Him and the entire human race will go to the ground. It will be a universal crash drill.
Extra
It has been a long week; from Thursday morning until now seems like one long day to me. There is no question that hundreds have prayed for us and we have felt your prayers but today we are very needy. We have a message but it will be difficult to share. Sometimes my emotions get the best of me: pray for me to speak with clarity and to glorify Christ. We are not saved by faith or works. We are saved by the atoning work of Christ on the cross. We cannot save ourselves and we dare not take glory in trying to do so.
Have a great day. Thanks for reading the blog.
Someone told me last night: “Bro. Jack, if there is anything at all you need, let me know.” I said, “There is, I need prayer and a pecan pie.” He said, “I can pray but I can’t make a pecan pie.” Hannah’s boss told her the same things and she said, “Actually, we do have some weeding eating that needs to be done.” He said, “let’s not take it that far.” Watch those Bailey’s, they are liable to say anything.
Have a great day!!!!
