And
when Christ said to Saul “Why do you persecute Me?” ........
I
heard it differently just now.
Christ
the risen Lord of Glory speaking to Saul/Paul from Heaven asking why He is
being persecuted....
He
is in heaven... who’s being persecuted?
It’s
His bride, who is ONE WITH HIM.
We
are not separate!!! It’s like marriage, we are one.
It
just hit me – the oneness of us, me, the ‘body’, the church, is one with
Christ.
He
takes our blows.
He
feels our wounds.
He
is joined to us, inseparably.
WOW
The
pain we feel, the suffering we endure, we are not alone in that – He is feeling
it ever as much with us.
Our
cares and the weight we carry He knows every whittle of.
No
wonder He said for us to bring them to Him! He knows the burden we
carry.
OMG
we can lean into Him and He does not move.
We
can relinquish the pain and the burden and the care to Him, just as we would
give it over to our mate (husband) to take care of.
How
beautiful!
Again
the picture that marriage was created to paint for us to see Him as He is for
us...
WOW
He
runs after me in hot pursuit
Why
oh why do I go the other way?
Silly
stupid deluded me
I
have sought the pig slop and turned away from the fillet mignon.
The
banquet table is set and I’m the bride
Holy
cow – I must delve further into this love.
