The intent of all that is written is to bring the full and perfect
manifestation of the writer. The writer is seeking to be known and to be
loved for what is revealed through the expression of their self. Yet
their true self is only visible through what they express. This
expression even in the most perfect form is still generally
misunderstood. Jesus is the Word become flesh and think about how many
different ways He is perceived. The writer of Hebrews tells us that
Jesus is “... the express image of His person…” and Jesus Himself tells Philip “...He who has seen Me has seen the Father…”.
Deeper than the expression is the intent of the heart. Paul says this
deep understanding to be found in the spirit when he writes “...the
Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man
knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?
Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.”. The
intent or spirit can only be touched in unity, oneness.This is scarcely
touched, but when it is it cannot be misunderstood because it lacks
nothing in its communication.This is where you are being called to as
Jesus prayed “"And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that
they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they
may be made perfect in one…”
Most of us are not even “one” within ourselves (which produces confusion) let alone One with God in Christ Jesus. We do not even know how to
present a correct expression of our intent but instead project fantasy
based on the stimuli of imperfect observations and circumstances. God is
not like this. He is perfectly ONE. When we behold His Word (Jesus) we
behold Him. When we receive His Spirit we become ONE with Him. I like to
call this pure & unbroken fellowship. The technical connection may
have been made upon seeing Jesus, and inviting Him into your “heart”,
but many of us claiming Christ as our savior live in a way that defrauds
the cross of its true value.
We are entering into so much more
than the forgiveness of sin. We are also doing much more than gaining
citizenship to the Kingdom of God. Though both of these are true they
are actually by-products of something greater. Our true destination is
not forgiveness or a Kingdom but oneness. The literal intertwining of
our spirit with the Spirit of God. As we truly embrace this weaving we
will become entirely like Him. For if our sin is only washed away we
will simply go get dirty again, and if we are only citizens of a Kingdom
we are only servants to the king, but if we are One with Christ as He
is one with the Father we will no longer sin and we won't need any law
for it will truly be written upon our heart. "Therefore if the Son makes
you free, you shall be free indeed. - Jhn 8:36 NKJV
