TELL-A-VISION

“Such was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.” –Ezekiel 1:28 Ezekiel experienced an overwhelmingly awesome vision of the Lord. In this vision, God called Ezekiel to prophesy to the hardened, yet endangered Israelites. The king, Jehoiachin, was already in exile, and the people would soon suffer the same fate. In Ezekiel chapters 2 and 3, the Lord sends Ezekiel to speak His prophetic words of warning to “rebels…hard of face and obstinate of heart” who “will refuse to listen to” Ezekiel (Ez 2:3, 4; 3:7). God tells Ezekiel several times to not be afraid and...

AFRAID TO THINK?

“It has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom.” –Luke 12:32 Jesus has revealed to us that our future will be a terrible, just punishment forever or perfect love and happiness forever. This revelation is mind-boggling (to put it mildly). We have no experience of “forever,” and the possibility of everlasting punishment is overwhelming. Under these circumstances, many people “shut down,” “freeze up,” and become spiritually paralyzed. They try to forget about eternity, the very goal of this earthly life. Before Jesus revealed His final coming, Judgment Day, and the afterlife, He commanded us: “Do not live in fear,...

THE TWO FACES ARE ONE

“His face changed in appearance.” –Luke 9:29 Isaiah prophesied of the Messiah, the Suffering Servant: “Even as many were amazed at Him – so marred was His look beyond that of man, and His appearance beyond that of mortals” (Is 52:14). Isaiah’s prophecy was fulfilled in Jesus’ crucifixion and death. How could the severely altered face of the crucified Jesus be the face of God? Jesus “was transfigured before their eyes and His clothes became dazzlingly white – whiter than the work of any bleacher could make them” (Mk 9:2-3). At the Transfiguration, Jesus’ face was no longer emptied (see...

Walk in the Light

“This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1:5 Many things that happen in the world today are symptoms of a sick society. The average person feels unable to confront the evil around him or her, which can give rise to an attitude of complete despair. Nothing in our modern world can be as appalling as the crucifixion on Golgotha. And yet the Light broke through that darkest moment in history, when Jesus overcome the forces of evil and rose triumphantly from...

MARY MAJOR

“If a man wishes to come after Me, he must deny his very self, take up his cross, and begin to follow in My footsteps.” –Matthew 16:24 To be disciples of Jesus, we must deny ourselves and take up His cross daily (Lk 9:23). In effect, we must lose our lives (Mt 16:25). We no longer operate independently, but obediently. We don’t do our thing, but His thing. We have been crucified with Christ and the lives we live are no longer our own (Gal 2:19-20). Although the cost of discipleship is so high, deep down we sense that only...
