Podcast 41.3 Transcript
Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s think about this.
Great things He has taught us Great things He has done
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1 Peter 1:3 ESV
He has made known to us HIs mercy which was demonstrated most greatly through the redemption He has made available to us through the sacrifice of His Son. This combination of things He has done and things He has taught us is unparalleled. Bless His holy name!
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son
And they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory of the Lord. Psalm 138:5 ESV
Our rejoicing is great indeed, and all because of Jesus. He gives us first the reason to rejoice and then provides the only way we could have known it, the access through His finished work. We will sing of His ways eternally, but we should get started today. No time like the present.
But purer and higher and greater will be
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:12 ESV
Even still, the praises we offer here and now are but a pale comparison to the ones we will offer one day. We do not have a complete understanding of what He has accomplished, but we will eventually. Dimly now, clearly then. In part now, fully then. Purer, higher, greater.
Our wonder our transport when Jesus we see
Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2 ESV
We are God’s children now, but there is more to come. We will be like Him because we will see Him as He is. Think about the praise you will offer to Jesus when You finally get to see Him face to face. There will be no inhibitions, no holding back. We will simply praise Jesus!
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more, with the refrain.
Praise the Lord praise the Lord Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord praise the Lord Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
And give Him the glory great things He has done
Take the mindfulness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time,
Be Resonant.
