Mk.15:32 Where was God or what was He doing when Jesus hung on the cross? The crowds jeer Him and mock His identity. It looked like the bitter end of a man's life who had great intentions. It appeared to not make sense. But what was really going on? What was hidden from most of those watching this tragic scene unfold? There was another plot, another reality taking place. The King on the cross was in fact actually accomplishing something through another reality. It was the reality of the Kingdom of God. Most of the time we don't see this Kingdom reality with our natural eye. It is a mystery and can only be seen through a different set of eyes. Like 3D glasses we need to have eyes of revelation to see and know what is actually taking place in life's circumstances. Our challenge is to not judge by what we see in the flesh but to ask the Spirit to allow us to see the reality of what the Father is really doing.
Pastor Dennis,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that visual. Oh that God would open our eyes to the unseen! The following verse came to mind as I meditated on that:
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things that are not seen. For the things wich are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." (2 Cor. 4:16-18)
