Transformed for His Glory

​God’s Word became flesh in Jesus Christ.
Perfectly spoken. Flawlessly revealed.
God desires His Son to also be revealed through obedient disciples who love Jesus Christ.
 
Why would God make this His plan?
Seems to me that it is a strategy doomed from the get-go.
Why not use angels who perfectly listen to and obey the will of God? No mess ups, no fails. That’d be MY plan.
But God…
In His infinite Wisdom, God chose to make this way His way to display His Grace and Mercy.
The life of a mere human made of flesh is the most appropriate and setting for the transforming power of redemption. The impossibility is apparent. The change, absolutely miraculous!
“But, I can’t do it!” you say.
“I know. Trust Me to do it in you,” says the Lord.
We have our perfect example in Jesus Christ. Read the Gospels to see how He lived. Hear how He spoke.
Note how many times Jesus withdrew from the busy-ness to seek His Father’s heart.
Observe how He responded to people with Scripture as the foundation for His actions. Always appropriately, always in love.
We are called to be like Him.
Drawn to our Father in Heaven for guidance and wisdom.
Powered by the Holy Spirit, His life breath in us.
Be encouraged with this passage from Second Corinthians:
 “…but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
​1 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart.”
 2 Corinthians 3:16 - 4:1 (NASB)
We are all despicable vessels of clay until the Hand of God reaches in and redeems us.
Transformed for His glory!
