The FATHER REVEALED IN THE SON

A classic call to the church:


Matthew 11:28-30

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

He says,
There is always a time of choices for a person and there will come a crossroad. It's in this place that the LORD is pleased to offer direction. In other words also the best place where the FATHER is revealed to men is at a place where she's wandered the most. A place of indecision.

Jeremiah 6:16-17 16. This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it.' 17.I appointed watchmen over you and said, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But you said, 'We will not listen.'

Hallelujah, Hallelujah. The GOOD way then becomes CHRIST and the full manifestation of the FATHER in Him so that the gains of the cross may in the final analysis be appreciated and preserved. This becomes a place for a classic call for all and to all, especially those who once knew the LORD and backslid or are contemplating a fall.

In these wicked world and times, it's become a necessity for the church to seek an encounter with GOD. The youth church is always trapped at a place of choosing a marriage partner, there always comes a crossroad at that corner before she negotiates it, and the LORD is very audible about such times.

He says : Jeremiah 33:3 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'

It's at that crossroad that the LORD begins reaching out to the church, to the backslid, to those in sin, with a classical call. The intention is to validate her credentials as a redeemed people.

It's important also to note that at the same crossroad, a place where she wanders most, is where the FATHER is revealed to help her find her bearing back to grace. The FATHER through CHRIST is forced to appear. This appearance, is meant to expose her to direction and provide guidance back to track. This then becomes the grace of GOD.

Titus 2:11-13 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, In her wandering, the grace prepares her to encounter the Lord Jesus, as the Father and chief shepherd and Bishop of her life. In other words, days have now come, when the LORD is presenting the grace to the church, to the believers so she can trust Him for direction in issues of life and eventually walk into a future of eternity with GOD
