TODAY IS MAE JACKSON’S BIRTHDAY!!
Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
1 Corinthians 1:9, “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Paul told the Corinthians that they had been called into the fellowship, the participation, of God’s Son, Jesus Christ.
God had called them to participate in Christ.
How do we participate in Christ?
It is by calling His name, “Jesus.”
When we say “Jesus,” we participate in Jesus.
His name is the practical handle for us to participate in Him.
And when we participate in Him, we must realize that we are participating in all the phases of His existence.
The Lord Jesus passed through incarnation, human life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension.
Today all these phases are in the Spirit, who has been poured out like a flowing river for us to drink.
When we call “Lord Jesus,” we drink the Spirit (1 Cor. 12:3, 13-14).
As we drink the Spirit, we are participating in the phases of His existence–in His incarnation, His human life, His death, His burial, His resurrection, and His ascension.
We participate in His life and become living members of Him.
We also participate in the Lord Jesus by eating Him (John 6:48-63).
And when we eat Jesus, we eat His humanity, the glorified humanity made available as living bread.
The manhood that He lived out was not lost 2,000 years ago.
That manhood has now been put into the Spirit to be a constant supply of bread for us to eat (1 Cor. 15:45).
Now we can eat the thinking of Jesus and the reactions of Jesus and the choices of Jesus.
We can eat His mind, His emotion, and His will.
It flows in the Spirit.
We all need another disposition to live our human life.
We need the divine disposition.
How do we obtain such a disposition?
It is by feeding on Jesus in the Word, by calling on His name, and by drinking of the Spirit.
Until Tomorrow
With A Shepherd’s Love,
Pastor Jackson
