Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
Ephesians 1:10, “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:”
The mystery of Christ has had a gradual unfolding through the ages.
It was conceived in eternity past (Eph. 1:4-5), it was produced through Christ’s death and resurrection (Eph. 1:19-23; 2:14-16), it has been revealed to the apostles and prophets in spirit (Eph. 3:3-6), it is written in the Scriptures (Rom. 16:25-26), and now it is being made known to all the nations to evoke the response of faith.
The phrase “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times” means that it is time to have the church life on this earth.
Once we see the church, it is time for us to be in the church.
When light comes to us concerning the church, that is the time to rise up to have the church life on this earth.
Once it is made known to us, that knowledge is unto the fullness of the times.
In other words, do not waste your time anymore.
Do not play with childish things anymore.
The revelation of the church ushers in its administration and working out.
It is time now!
God wants to head up the universe.
He wants to head up the heavens and the earth in Christ.
This revelation is waiting for “the obedience of faith” (Rom. 16:26).
This means that once the revelation comes to us, that is the divine command and call, “Get into the church life.”
This is why we are human beings–to experience Christ and to assemble on the earth in cities where there is a testimony of Jesus until Christ comes back and sets up His kingdom over the whole earth.
Until Tomorrow
With A Shepherd’s Love,
Pastor Jackson
