The explosive manifestation of Christ in fact or in myth reveals to all mankind and all of creation its origin, existence, and life in him. It’s not a hateful, wrathful, in fear of God existence but one that we have all misunderstood that we all now have clear view of because of the story tellers (Gods gospel: The word: the son) recapitulation. We began in God, we are tied together tighter than the tightest threads. We are one in all things. Our essence springs forth from that place. We are all resurrected from the pattern of death and illusion.

Let nothing steal our enjoyment of bliss. For our bliss is eternal and is held in the grasp of our source, sealed in an incarnation. In the midst of every tribulation there is a stance that overcomes. It is Raptured and caught up in the clouds.
Let your life take on new form. The form of awe and rapture – not because of Armageddon but because of The Divines unconditional goodness.

I love that the gospel is good news. It doesn’t deny that bad things happen or that you may be in a tight spot but what it does is confront those situations. It doesn’t have a defeatist outlook but the attitude of an overcomer and victor. When nothing but hell seems to plummet toward it, it takes it’s stand and declares gospel realities. It stares death in the face and laughs at its eternal impotence. Death holds no true power, life and resurrection do.
The Passover of religion is not passed over but pushed over. Destruction is brought upon it.
“I will destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up again”
Faith rushed in like a strong wind. The whole place is rearranged. Destruction and restoration are brought simultaneously.
The sheep and the goat have both been reconciled.
The humanity created in Gods own image and immensity was rediscovered on our behalf in an Incarnation. The pages are turned as they always have been and now we have a living concordance within, a divine force, narrating and explaining in all depth this outlandish treasure within. We have redemption; we are plucked up and out of deaths grip that deceitfully tangled us up in a hellish mirage of flames. It is all of creations portion.
Grace is Gods rest. He has ceased from his works to occupy grace so that we may occupy it with him.
He opened the door, he rolled away the stone and called us forth, “Come out of the law of death and into the life of grace!”
The real mystery is that we are already there. All of us! He asked, sought, and knocked at our tomb and persuaded us to come alive, promising a bliss that no law or toil could ever afford. A gift of most extreme generosity.
