Another Man's Story

Living for Another Age

"...so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the Revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen Him, YOU LOVE HIM..."

-1 Peter 1: 7-8

There is a Love that emptied Himself.

"This is My commandment, that you love one another, as I just as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for a friend. You are My friends if you do what I command you." John 15:12-14

His love is more real, than the dim lit world we live in. More real than the shards of reality; pieced together through perceptions; foggy from the spirit of the carnal age. If we saw Him now, face to face, we would never be the same.

I have lived a lot of life. Seen a lot of things. Been many places. Forgiven much. Loved much. Hurt many. Forgotten some. Offered faithfulness at times. Fallen down. Persevered on. But what is the point to glory in these things? Or to disqualify based on these things? To pursue ambition for the audience of mankind?

"He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of God." Deuteronomy 8:3

But, now I journey on a pilgrimage. Living for another age. Another day. Another Man's story. His very story. His-tory. In the making. His story in the making. In the making; in me.

Yeshua. The God who became man. Walked the earth. His story is living inside of me. I will live for the glory of this Humble King.

"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by FAITH in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me." -Galatians 2:20

"...and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and obtaining as the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls." -1 Peter 1: 8-9

"You shall love Me with your whole heart, mind, soul and strength... You shall love the Lord your God, and serve Him, only."

You shall love.

And the lovesick anthem is welling up. "Maranatha!" Come, Lord Jesus. Return to us, we pray.

...the Son of God, who loved me. He gave Himself for me.
