And the Excitement Builds...
You know, while everyone is fretting over Os coming, im getting REALLY REALLY excited that its ENDING! and im not saying this to feel positive, but im REALLY GENUINELY SO EXCITED. Im so excited, my heartbeat really intensifies every time i think of it! HA! okay so its mostly because im so excited with all the things i'll be free to do, and will be doing after Os, but im still like really excited! And the thing is, im more than willing to study for my Os! im excited to, as the day draws nearer, wow!
As i think of this, i draw the parallels. With this, i have once again come to see Heb 10:24-25 in a fresh new way. If there's one thing i learnt from doing Oswald Chambers' my Utmost for His Highest, is that thought it may be true that there can only be one interpretation to 1 truth, there can be many applications, and these different applications come from seeing the passage in different lights, through different perspectives.
"All the more as you see the Day Drawing Near" i mean, i've always seen this as proclamation of judgement, and so we have no time left! we need to go forth and preach the gospel before they all die and perish in the lake of fire where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth,
without even hearing the good news. But through this experience, i have come to realise, thats not all...
What does 'the day' refer to? Yes it would mean the day of judgement, but that same day of judgement, is the day where we saints will be glorified! Where we will meet out Saviour's face! though it may be appending doom for some, it is all joy for us! it is our goal! Tozer's daughter remarked at his funeral, "I cant feel sad, I know Dad's happy, He has lived for this all his life." And indeed, for 'The Day' we shall live! And so what?
With that joy and excitement, that we are going to be reunited, should we not be more than willing to do all we can to show love to our fellow brethren, and also to the people around us? Let us let faith work through love! And let us encourage one another to do so, as we share in the love we receive, and strive to do our best now to please our Father, all the more as the day is drawing near!
