What is the reality that we need to recognize? (Part 1)

This world, although was projected to be the fixed dwelling of the children of men, they lost this privilege when Adan and Eve sinned. Since then, they were debarred of staying in paradise and taste of the Tree of Life and invited to look to another world for they relish.

The Creator allow people to wander around this world without direction and destiny for many years (although He always gave testimony of Himself – Acts 17:24-28). The outcome is that most of the sinners was found loitering on the ways of vanity (Rom 1:28-31).

The Creator, then, call Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in order to generate a pious nation (Mal 2:13-16), but they turned Him down, following other gods.

Finally, the Creator established the Church to gather the dispersed of Israel, and to lead them on their way to the better country. But they reject the Messiah, what allow us to get access to the kingdom of the heaven.

But, for this, we need to accept His kind call and invitation. And we need to face the reality:

1 – Although Jesus brought the Church out of Egypt, yet she doesn’t reach the land of the promise. 

2 – This world isn’t the place for Christ’s Bride to rest in. On the contrary: we are sent like lambs in the middle of wolves (Mat 10:16). Unfortunately, many times, there are fools in the Church who lies down among them charmed with the deceptive “wonderers” of this world and averse to come away. 

The rest place is the new Jerusalem. There is the society of saints, angels, and, chiefly, of the Bridegroom. There is no injustice, evil, illness, etc. Not to mention that to be ever with the Lord make up the felicity of the place.

3 – Though each member of the Church in this world feels, sometimes, that Jesus forsook them in this world, the truth is that He kindly recalls her (Mat 28:20), even though, many times, she thinks otherwise. He leads and support us through the whole way (Jer 10:23). Although there will be difficult step toward the New Jerusalem, if the Church come along Him, He will keep her from stumbling.

Have a good day pondering on this. Tomorrow we will carry on.
