Friendship of Jesus is a flabbergast

IT IS A FLABBERGAST THAT JESUS IS MY FRIEND (three)

The relationship is truly an entente cordiale: for the original sin did sequester our Eden fellowship with the LORD God. The Greek for 'reconciled' is apokatallassō (ap-ok-at-al-las'-so): 'to reconcile completely; to reconcile back again; bring back a former state of harmony.' Just for saving us, should we be left as the slaves of Jesus forever, would that not be a thing to be eternally grateful for?

Our friendship with the Lord Jesus is a wonderment. No angel boasts of this unknown familiarity. Not even the closest: the awesome foursome (as Rev. Chris Okotie loves to call them) who maintain a glorious aerobatic existence around God’s throne, of course, not Michael, the foremost warrior angel or the well-known Gabriel who stands before the throne. Heaven will, no doubt, celebrate this Divine friendship. O how blessed are the Christians! Hallelujah! Read More

The word ‘perform,’ of John 15:15 is epiteleo (ep-ee-tel-eh'-o) ‘1. to fulfill further (or completely), i.e. execute 2. (by implication) to terminate, undergo.’ The consummation of this friendship is not by any commitment of my doing. It is wholly the Lord’s doing. The implausibility of this phenomenon dazzles one with the incredulity of its uncanny pose. The Bible’s revelation to this fact, that Jesus, very God of very God, is the Performer of this phenomenal cater-cousin with Divinity simply puts my mind at rest and at the same time blows my mind in all directions of the atmospheric winds.Read More
