Was, Is, Is to Come... That's what God's view is always like, because there is no time in Eternity. He is Everywhere and sees Everything at once. When we stop to think..really consider... that God has counted the grains of sand in the universe and knows each of them by number... we cease to worry, and we begin to truly know He is a BIG GOD.
As I was reading Hebrews 8 this morning the Lord showed me a picture of the Temple in the Old Testament... the Shadow.. if you will of the Church in the New Testament and of our Temple Bodies offered as Living Sacrifices to God.
However, He also showed me Jesus, our High Priest standing and interceding in Heaven for us as the picture of the perfect Temple, having offered the perfect sacrifice and gifts.. Himself.
Shadows:
Was: Old Testament priests, sacrifices, gifts offered to God...imperfect
Is: The Church and each of us offering ourselves to God as Living Sacrifices..following Christ's example, though imperfect still.
Is to Come: The Day when we too are as Christ..offering ourselves as He does,.. perfectly and purely with our whole hearts to the Father.
Was, Is, Is to Come.. we live in this Eternal state as well,.. even though we are presently bound by time.
Jesus always sets the example and is the only Model to follow. For one day we will awake, as the psalmist says..."In His Image and Likeness" to the Glory of God the Father!
I am losing my religion and gaining His Heart.
