When you
catch the essence of something, you have the very best it has to offer.
When you see
the essence of something, you see the finest it has to offer.
It is like
that with Christ.
He offers you the very essence of God, in Himself.
When you get
this truth;
When the
light of this truth shines into your soul;
When you
bask in the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ, you receive the essence of all
truth.
All truth
comes from the essence of God.
Jesus came
unto His own and His own received Him not.
It’s no difference today.
Jesus still reveals Himself. He still
shines His glorious light.
He still
offers His free gift of His essence to anyone and everyone who will receive it.
Wrong
thinking often mistakes something that resembles the truth for the truth
itself.
It’s wrong
thinking that causes us to get angry at our spouse for things that happen
instead of focusing your anger on your real enemy.
It’s wrong
thinking that causes you to see our kids in a lessor light than they deserve,
rather than seeing them through the eyes of Christ and taking out our
disappointment on the one responsible for behavior problems.
It’s wrong
thinking that keeps your creative self stifled, when you should be creating new
medicines, new tools, when you should be taking the new ideas that God has given
to you and pursue them with your every effort.
It’s wrong
thinking that keeps you from stepping out in faith and allowing God to have the
pre-eminence, just for a season.
How many
times have you let another day go by where you knew what to do, but didn’t do
it?
