HIS DISPLAY OF HOLY REDEMPTION
He writes in the sky with His Finger
The same Finger that drew the boundaries of the sea
that set the mountains heights
that created the rivers path
The same Finger
Wrote in the sand
Holy words from His Father
Of how He viewed the woman caught in adultery
As well as the men with stones in their hands
What He scribed in the sand
A mystery still held in Heaven’s sacred realms
The One Who hung on the cross
For our redemption
Writes in the sky
His Display of Holy Redemption
His Cross of Holy Love
He invites us to Himself
To Know Him + His Ways
This is only possible as we become
Partakers of His Divine Nature
Waiting at His Feet – Leaning on His Heart
Beholding afresh
The Crucified + Risen King of Glory
Waiting in Awe + Wonder
Reverence + Worship
2 Peter 1:1-8
1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle (special messenger) of Jesus Christ, to those who have received (obtained an equal privilege of) like precious faith with ourselves in and through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
2 May grace (God’s favor) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in [the full, personal, [c]precise, and correct] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3 For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).
4 By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature.
5 For this very reason, adding your diligence [to the divine promises], employ every effort in exercising your faith to develop virtue (excellence, resolution, Christian energy), and in [exercising] virtue [develop] knowledge (intelligence),
6 And in [exercising] knowledge [develop] self-control, and in [exercising] self-control [develop] steadfastness (patience, endurance), and in [exercising] steadfastness [develop] godliness (piety),
7 And in [exercising] godliness [develop] brotherly affection, and in [exercising] brotherly affection [develop] Christian love.
8 For as these qualities are yours and increasingly abound in you, they will keep [you] from being idle or unfruitful unto the [full personal] knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). |
