We are a blessed people. The people of God, who know His name (not Allah). His name was brought from heaven by the angels, and Paul called it the "family name" of everything in heaven and earth, the Lord Jesus Christ. "Who do men say that I am?" And the answer came, "You are the Christ (anointed flesh) of God." "Flesh and blood did not reveal that...and upon this rock (revelation) will I build my church." Well, some think the rock was Peter, others this and that, but Jesus made it plain that His Church was build upon the "revelation" of who He is. That is what separates Christians from the rest of the World. We know our God and know His name and we wear that name at spiritual circumcision, where it is "applied." Paul declared Him as the "unknown God" in Athens. For in Him we live and move and have our being. He made the world, was in the world and the world knew Him not. He came to His own (Jews) and they received Him not. But to as many as received Him, to them He gave the power to be come sons of God! It is Him in us our hope for glory! No matter what befalls us in life...we can call upon that name and be delivered, and there is just something about that name! We were made in His image (the fore thought of a completed plan)..."He was Spirit without a body" and we were "bodies without spirit," so that someday we would be married to Him and become One Body filled with His Spirit. And in that day the Lord shall be King over all the earth, and there shall be one Lord and His name one. And they shall look upon Him whom they have pierced and ask "Where did you get those nail prints in your hands?" And He will answer "In the house of my friends (Jews)." And then they will know! They missed the hour of Jehovah's visitation. It was Jesus! Be blessed.
