PRAYER MEDITATION.
GOD HAS GIVEN US MORE THAN WE DESIRE
(Part.4.)
“For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father {of Eternity}, Prince of peace.” (Isaiah.9:6; Amplified Bible)
Part B of verse 21, of the gospel of Matthew chapter 1, is rendered this way in the Amplified Bible, “….. For He will save His people from their sins (that is, prevent them from failing and missing the true end and scope of life, which is God.” Sin, which is rewarded with death, is missing the true end and scope of life, which is God. Most Bible scholars agree that the Amplified Bible, is the nearest translation to the original Hebrew and Greek translation.
Sin is defined from God’s word as not seeing God as the reason for life, and the true end of same. Life from God’s perspective is not about desiring, seeking and having the creature that has no ability to give life, even for a second, it is about desiring, seeking, discovering and expressing God, who is our Maker, Husband, Redeemer and Inheritance.
God’s Son that has been given to us to learn from, made the Creator, not the creature the Subject and Object of his living. He had, experienced and expressed the Father’s glorious presence, that He desired and sought for first. His example that He is calling all men who want God’s rest, in our restless world, to learn from, is intended to save us from SIN, that is making us not to desire, seek, experience and manifest the glorious Presence of the Omnipresent “I AM”, who is more than creation and all therein.
God’s Son that has been given to us, has truly been made Wisdom, Salvation, Sanctification and Righteousness to us, that we may make Him all that to ourselves, if and when we believe.
