The Operands
The Operands
John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten
of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself
shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and
shall call his name Immanuel.”
Matthew 1:23 “Behold, a virgin shall be with
child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,
which being interpreted is, God with us.”
John 20:17 “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.”
Revelation 1:12 “And I turned to see
the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;13 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.14 His head and his
hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of
fire;15 And
his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as
the sound of many waters.”16 And
he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp
twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
1 Corinthians 15:52 “In a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the
dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed.53 For
this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality.”
It is God who
defines the operand. He assigns value to
the variable. In His computing power,
according to His programming language, He manipulates these in His will. According to His good pleasure, He makes the
change. And we benefit.
The eternal Word
of God took upon Himself flesh. Never before
had the Word dwelt in a body such as this to be “trapped” as we are. Face it, our spirits here dwell in tents. Upon conception, God assigned our personages to
a physical place holder we call self. We
can touch self. Self touches
others. Self experiences pain and
pleasure. Self houses our spirit and
soul. Jesus became a self.
God uses selves
as vehicles for His indwelling presence. Upon rebirth, He fills our selves with His Holy
Spirit. We then transverse the globe, in
a physical plane, spreading His light to this dark world. In other words, God uses points of reference
to define Himself as He reaches through us.
Thus, we move out as ambassadors.
But it is God as
the great programmer that manipulates the operands to His glory. Jesus became flesh. God fixed His variable of self to common
man. It was only after the crucifixion, did
Jesus’ composition change. He gained His
glorified body. God changed His state.
Will God ever
change our operands? We here suffer in
the body. Scarred and bruised, these
tents are ripped with seams weathered and wanting a perfect habitation which does
not know decay. Will God fix us?
1 Thessalonians 4:16 “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:17 Then
we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
For us to live forever with God, we must
put on His raiment. Clothed in
righteousness now, we don what Christ has won for us. Later, immortality
with a new spiritual body.
The variable of man, once a fixed state, now He transposes to light. What
He defined early on in the program, He changes that we may live with Him
forever. We will follow Christ to glory
even as He has ascended to the Father with His changed body. God the operator works us, the operands.
