Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
Revelation 7:14, “And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
The blood of the Lamb!
The source of the blood is His Person.
The nature of His Person is that of a Lamb.
The Lamb nature, or disposition, includes the meekness, the innocence, and the submission of the Lamb.
Isaiah 53:7 says, “He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.”
He did not open His mouth.
This reveals the absolute submission of the Lamb nature.
The blood of the Lamb is the blood of this soul-life that was totally submitted to the Father.
This is the disposition of His soul.
He made no choices on His own.
He lived only by the Father’s life, ruled inwardly by the Father: “The Father works and I work. I only do what My Father does.”
The innocent Lamb, who laid down His life, eventually becomes the chief figure in the book of Revelation to fight all the battles and to bring in God’s administration.
It should be that the one who represents God and rules for God is the one who inwardly is like the Lamb in disposition, submitted to the Father.
All the problems we pass through are tests on us, to bring forth the Lamb’s disposition.
Everything is a test.
The oppositions, the hurts, the misunderstandings, the tearing down–these are all testings on us.
Eventually you can react, you can write others off, you can be bitter, you can be hurt, or you can merge with the Lamb disposition and tell Him, “Lord, You have not made one mistake.
There is not one thing that is not included in the all things working together for good.”
You submit to be delivered from all the touchiness of the self-life and its reactions.
Until Tomorrow
With A Shepherd’s Love,
Pastor Jackson
