My Lord and savior.
“Lord Jesus the son of God have mercy on me a sinner.” - the Jesus prayer.
I don’t know what I am going to say other Jesus is lord. He is the messiah. The son of God. The beginning and the end. I cannot fathom what is happening in the world. All I know is the end is near. I think it is the biblical apocalypse… I think the lord will return… it scares me as much as gives me hope. In my heart I feel guilty of so much I can’t understand. My arrogance in my thoughts… and the blasphemy in my mind. I try to override my evil inclinations with the Jesus prayer.
Though I know works don’t save us… works are the fruit of the tree of faith. Without works a tree is dead and ready to be fed into the fire.
But the Lord forgives those who he will, and he is just. Faith in the lord is knowing we are not the lord. We cannot serve the world of greed and lust and the lord our God. We are ether for the truth of the lord OR against the truth of the lord.
If you are unsure then there is a war being waged between the world and God within your soul. The Bible is a commentary on faith… the lord is like living water nourishing those who go to him and his word for understanding.
No one is saved who is not saved by the lord. His justice is the death of unnecessary information. It reaches out and makes whole the very foundation of reality. It feels a void in our heart. Knowing (not thinking we know but knowing) that God is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. That is the components of the Lord like humans are made of blood water and spirit. How much more complex is our Lord? He is above us the beginning and the end.
Christ died so that we may live and was resurrected so that we may do it eternally. He is the body of the lord. So completely obedient to the Father’s Word that he inseparable from it. We struggle to sand away our sinful nature so we may meet the lot in peace. To have fellowship with our God. We are not and never will be worthy the Christ came as a climax to history a fulfillment of the law.
What is the good news? That Jesus is God and not me… or any other flawed human in corrupt flesh. He is Lord and he will judge the world righteously. He will punish the guilty and unjust and forgive those that he will… and the good news is that we can trust him with all that responsibility… without worrying with our sinful hearts that a mistake was made. "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.”
In the beginning God created and in the end it will all be worth it. Inspite of ourselves he is Lord… Inspite of that darkness in our heads and hearts. It was there for the diversity of information for the living part of life. Every grain of sand can’t be the same because none of us would exist. We are the flaws that by the grace of God persist and in his judgment we will one day be made whole.
Pray for me as I pray for you in the coming of our lord. Peace and love.
