Before the altar (part20)

God is so wonderful, how He unfolds Jesus for me, even as far back as Leviticus 16:2-24. God’s portion placed on the altar for me was Jesus, the portion that bisects my three-dimensional being of esoteric mind-games that I learn from satan. The portion of God that is on the altar is
sin offering, scapegoat, and purity all rolled into one ball of humanity. Because I could never do this, I could never be pure, chaste, holy, not without God to create in me the new being He does (II Corinthians 5:17) in baptism (Rom 6:1-6). Even if I am not considered a bad person, I am in my mind hateful towards some, hurtful towards others, mean, cruel, and could never be like
Christ. Except when I put Him on and walk as he does, living as a human being with God’s eyes. There is a reason Jesus says the eyes are the mirror of the soul. (Matt 6:22-23) and there is a reason God loved Him enough to sacrifice Him so that I would not perish. (John 3:16) How much love that takes to make me like Jesus, seeing the world through His eyes, and applying His wisdom. What a glorious, wonderful God I serve! And all He asks is that I stay with Him in all
I do (Isaiah 32:1-18) and He will give me strength, and love, and joy and peace. I must be firm in my stance, I must stay with God not because it looks good, not because it needs to be done but because God is greatest, and His will is correct and mine is not. Unless my will is wedded to His will, I cannot truly walk as Christ walked and worship as Christ worshipped.
