1 | Will worshiping the Lord change in Rev? | Deut 11:19 | Searcher56 | 175473 | ||
God's day to you, Fellow Pilgrim, I have a problem ... while He is our Brother, based on the fact He is THE Son of God (Matt 16:16ff, et. al.) and we are sons of God (Gal 3:26) ... and what He said (Matt 12:48ff) ... while we bow before Him in worship, He is our Lord. We do cheapen His Lordship if we think He will lift us up and say we are His brother/sister. I think about Esther. While the king was her husband, and I presume they were intimate ... she had to approach him as her king, not husband. He responded as king, not her husband (Est 4:15ff). God is many things, but if we forget He is our Lord, who has absolute rule over us ... we are in trouble. Searcher |

Searcher, I agree with you about the respect we must show to Jesus Christ. I love my Dad, and we have done some pretty whacky things together, but I will always respect him, because he is my father. The amazing thing is I cannot have that same relationship with any other man. I see my relationship with God the Father and Jesus Christ in the same way. The Scriptures tell us we can approach our Heavenly Father as a child approaches its father, open and innocently (Heb: Abba)(Rom 8:15; Gal 4:6). This in no way means we can be flippant, but we do not have to enter God's presence as Esther entered the king's court, with a fear of possibly being rejected. By God's grace we have Jesus seated at the right hand of the Father interceding on our behalf (Rom 8:34). My LORD does have absolute rule over my life. The amazing thing is that it is a win/win situation. Because of the atonement of Jesus I now have the relationship with God that He created me to have with Him. What a thought! Praise God!
