616.0. "In whom I am...well?" by N2DEEP::SHALLOW (Subtract L, invert W) Tue Oct 25 1994 10:47

    In an attempt at continued self examination, the following verse is a
    guide for what is expected. (I think?) Matthew 3:17:
    
    And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I
    am well pleased.
    
    So, in a hypothetical situation (since God sees us through Jesus), what
    would He say of you? For me, it has been...
    
    This is my beloved son, in whom I am...well.?.?.pleased.
    
    It used to be;
    
    This is my beloved son, in whom I am...well?.?.?...in whom I am.
    
    To have Jesus as our "measuring point", we all fall far short of the
    glory of God. But thank God, He makes the changes day to day, and
    eventually we will see what God sees.
    
    Recently, I heard a teaching on the refining process of gold. The heat
    is turned up, and the dross floats to the surface, and is removed. The
    one doing the refining knows when He has cleaned out the impurities,
    when He looks into the gold, and sees His own reflection, clear, and
    unblemished, like a mirror. Awesome, huh?
    
    In His Love, only by His grace,
    
    Bob

	Thanks Bob .... His love is so great... Seated up there with Him, and we don't even know it, because our eyes so easily fall down below. Until we hear "Well done, good and faithful servant", to which we respond "You mean ME???!!!", as in Matthew 25:37-39 and Luke 17:10 ... "We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty." - if only we could have done more, but ewven then, it could never reach what He merits from us... I'm so glad He sees us with different eyes from the ones we use. Andrew

	� Andrew, what translation are you using ? I've checked my Good Uh, welllll, it's a private version, who's full title is : 'Colloquially Outlawed Paraphrase Of Unusual Terminology' commonly referred to as the 'copout' version, and alternatively titled : Better News For The Intellectually Challenged phew! We do sweat in the UK... &
616.4	It was Him really!	REOELF::PRICEB		`Tue Oct 25 1994 13:42`	9
	Andrew I think I may have read that version - actually Keith Green made a similar sort of response on 'Sheep and Goats' The fact is that we all cast our crowns before Jesus anyway so any credit we may be given will be passed straight over to Him Ben
