I Can Tell You Where Jesus Is

 

I Can Tell You Where Jesus Is

“Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.”

“And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.”

“But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?”

“And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.”

He ain’t here!

     No seventy-foot Jesus’.  We don’t just invite Him over for a cozy bunch of tea.  He doesn’t tuck us into bed each night.  He is, the Almighty and He has a place.

     All Heaven is reserved for Him.  Only a habitation as such is worthy of this man’s presence.  Whoa!  Did I say man?  Yes, according to scripture, He inhabits a glorified body now.  “Don’t touch Mary!”  Well, you get the idea.

     Wouldn’t they like to claim that His bones rotted?  That His servants stole His body and snuck it away somewhere?  But, in actuality, Earth is not suitable for the glorified One.  I mean, He had a company of angels to go home to.  His fans at home waited for Him.  His rightful place beside the Father got tired of having the seat warmers plugged in.  His Father longed.  And Jesus satisfied with the reunion.

     To have Jesus roaming around down here would make Him out to be homeless dude, vagabond, and without purpose.  He would be without power and at the whim of society throwing Him coins out of the car window.  This picture God would not stand.

He’s coming back!

“Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:”

     A little encouragement.  We Americans don’t suffer under a rule of past Romans as our predecessors did to hide themselves in caves.  Yet, we still suffer.  And it is always proper to know the truth to keep our heads on straight in times of stress.

He tarries.  God waits.  And He has the plan.

The Church Picture

  The Church Picture 2 Samiuel 6: 20  “ Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! 21  And David said unto Michal, It was before the  Lord , which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the  Lord , over Israel: therefore will I play before the  Lord . 22  And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour. ” Revelation 4: 10  “ The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11  Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive ...

Infectious Disease

  Infectious Disease      I watch network T.V., the free kind over the airwaves.   It is inundated with self-help medicine commercials.   I think of Sky-ri-zee .   Perhaps this is the concoction for clearer skin.   What wouldn’t an Aaronic priest have given for this special med?   “Got a blemish?   Come closer, son.   Looks like the onset of leprosy.   Go away.   Two pills in the mouth and come back in seven.”   Much of Leviticus would have to be rewritten.   The red heifer sacrifice could be summed up with a cream.   “Touched a dead body?   Rub this on the contact area.   Go away.   Come back tomorrow.”      But what if pills don’t work?   Adam would have O.D.’d on the blue and reds seeking to forget the fall. Thankfully the neighborhood drug store was not on his corner.   He heard vaguely of a savior to come.   God said it was in his genes.   ...

God's Successive Revelations

  God’s Successive Revelations Search Me diligently, and I will reveal Myself to you.      Yah, that sound like something God would say.   I understand He revealed the Trinity to us.   I plead ignorance in Church history.   Some theologians, perhaps 400 A.D. came upon this gem that we hold true today.   The idea of the rapture is new on the Church radar.   Late 1800’s?      What if God revealed His truth to His people in time?   Surely, Solomon was the wisest man in his day, but did he know about Pentecost?   Daniel, the far seer, was only shown glimpses.   What did he know of Peter and miracles in the temple?   A certain king discovered God’s truth again and that made for a reformation, but what did he know of the beast standing in the sea?   God gives insight in His time.      I have trained seven children.   As young  children, I did not flood them with...
