We Have Become Partners Of CHRIST

Hi! and happy good Thursday to all of us, GUYS.  Our "food for the soul" today:

THE GOOD NEWS (12 January 2017)

"Listen to what the Holy Spirit says: If only you would hear GOD's voice today!  Do not be stubborn, as they were in the place called Rebellion, when your ancestors challenged ME in the desert, although they had seen MY deeds for forty years.  That is why I was angry with those people and said: Their hearts are always going astray and they do not understand MY ways.  I was angry and made a solemn vow: They will never enter MY rest.

So, brothers, be careful lest some of you come to have an evil and unbelieving heart that falls away from the living GOD.  Encourage one another, day by day, as long as it is called today.  Let no one become hardened in the deceitful way of sin.  We are associated with CHRIST provided we hold steadfastly to our initial hope until the end." - Hebrew 3:7-14

 

(Now believers have to begin anew the search for the Promised Land, that is, the Rest that GOD offers.  The first time, it was Moses, the servant of GOD, who guided HIS people and was responsible for HIS household.  Now it is the Son: they thought they would find rest in a specific place, in Palestine.  The true Rest is intimate life with GOD that we reach through faith and entrance into the Christian community.

Several times this letter will recall the warning given the Hebrew pilgrims in the desert: If only you would hear GOD's voice today!   The road is long and the believer grows tired when difficult times come, after the enthusiasm of the first days.  Supported by CHRIST's words, we must continue to hope for that which GOD promised, but which is invisible to our eyes.

The creation poem spoke of GOD's Rest after creating the world: this meant that the universe must come to a point of entering into the fullness of the mystery of GOD.  Human sorrow and work on this earth bring a person to her true end, which is "to rest" in the happiness of GOD.)
