"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone; in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: in whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit." (Ephesians 1:1-22)
The good news gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ requires that we desire His guidance and instruction in our hearts -- wherein we ask the Lord to give us this day our daily bread. Just like the physical, wherein we need food to sustain us, we similarly require the Word -- Jesus -- who has clearly stated that He is the Bread of Life. This same Jesus whom ye/we have crucified before coming to Him is the Light of the world, that lights a candle in our hearts that cannot be put out. Yes, Jesus who is the Word that was made flesh and dwelt among us.
"He was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own and His own received Him not." (John 1:10-11)
But to those who receive Jesus as both Lord and Christ in their hearts, and worship Him in Spirit and in truth, so has He quickened, filling you with His Spirit -- the risen Jesus -- the Holy Ghost. The world thought they could kill Him and contain Him in a tomb. But as we know, Jesus is no longer on a cross nor in the tomb. The stone has been rolled away, and God our Saviour now looking to and fro for those hearts who desire Him. This is why we walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us and given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling save. (Ephesians 5:2)
Don't lose the real meaning of life, but know that when we are grounded in His love, and have been taught by Him, letting Him lead and guide us into all truth, and Him establishing our steps, we will find the Great I AM who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Yes, the truth is in Jesus. And we know this because Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the ending, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Trust in His abundant love today and ask our Lord God and Saviour to establish your steps. Stand in the offering plate.
