Look up to the SON of God!

Let us look up to the SON of God!

If we place flowerpots near the window, we will find the flowers turning towards the sun. It seems they to prefer to look at the light than the darkness within the room.

Even as the flowers turn towards the sun, which is its source of energy, let us look towards the SON of Go, our Lord Jesus Christ for our source of joy and strength. Let the Glory of God reflect on us and through us.

☆2 Corinthians 4:6

For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ."

☆Isaiah 60:1 "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

Jesus Christ our Lord was a 'down to earth' person for sure! He came “Down to Earth” on mission from the Father; a mission of love and obedience! He was the 'Almighty One' but walked with humility on earth. His messages were never complicated and often spoke in parables that even a child could understand. Children loved to be around Him. He was 'The Holy One' but never was 'self-righteous'. That is why He wants us to be Holy as He was Holy but never self-righteous. Our righteousness are like 'filthy rags'.(Isaiah 64:6)

☆1 Peter 1:15-16, "But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

We are to be imitators and followers of Christ! Only when we look up to Him, we can follow Him

Paul writes in ☆ Ephesians 5:1 "Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children."

Would it not be terrible if Our Lord Jesus Christ came back for His body and we did not look like Him? May we look up to Him, imitate and reflect Him. He is working on each of us to make us more like Him so that the day we see Him, we will be like Him. We read in 1 John 3:2, "Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is."

Our Lord is Holy, He will come back of a spotless, and blameless bride and God's faithful to complete the good work He started in us and perfects us so that the day we see Him we will be like Him.

☆1 Thessalonians 5:23 "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.

Let us look up to Him and be changed,

Be blessed,
