A Coming Together
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 And this will we do, if God permit.
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Hebrews 6:2-4
It appears now at this time as visible what our God has made plain once again. Herein is it not seen that he calls what was not from what is now into being. So too does he make things plain which were not before by any stretch of the Word. Then again is he not the mender of our hearts and our lives and a healer of all broken things that once had been wounded quite possibly before we even knew what was visible. He is the God who calls out of nothing so that what was not might stand before him in general. He does all this time and again so that the ages to come might not ring with the failures of man but that of his glory instead. My, it seems now how good our God is to his people. Without catching sight of this, it seems you cannot but praise him now truly. For indeed, his power has done this thing you would see. Though is there not one thing missing so as then almost as a page would be from out of the whole. You know, when our God has called us is it not from out of the mire and the clay and so to into the light of his own glorious day. It is such a a perspective like this truly that enables just a seeing of God in his person. Is he not whole and complete just as he is in form, substance, and function then whether holy, undefiled, or just in the keeping us unspotted from the world in the text. For there are some doctrines of the faith are there not well worth the knowing, that would honestly help in seeing God better then in whole as a person. Not even as a person then but a deity rather, one who is all by himself on the throne with none other besides save that he must also then save to the uttermost or merely just to leave us alone. Which you of all people ought to be knowing then surely is that our God will not leave you behind as a person. Even now he rules and reigns in the affairs of all men with him being set back on the throne there once again. In the hearts and lives of these are his powers expressed if not his knowledge truly what with the whole earth just being full of his glory. Consider if you will how that John the Baptist came and with him was there a holding up of all men and a supernatural calling much rather that resulted in these being dunked into water there at the end. Surely some have connected it with following Christ, as well they should in the middle. That is for the time being until the fullness has come to fruition. See that too how Christ had come born of a virgin in the fullness of time as these then had so often been in the habit of expressing to him. In fact, might I suggest that he is the fullness much rather for in him do all these things dwell bodily. Indeed, so it seems then too that we would do well to remember the remission of sins as seen in the midst how that these were washed in the Jordan confessing these then and such. Herein then is the laying on of hands as one that were sick amongst us to be seen then so truly as among his sons or his daughters which wanted not for correction. Then too, among the church then in general is seen the overwhelming purpose, even that of the Lord. How often it seems do these ministers like to lay hands on his people. My, it's almost enough just for correction instead as though there were some impartation of power to be seen then with him. The resurrection too is bound to happen at some point or later. Fine time to be teaching it thus as would so appear then to any one of us. How many know of the resurrection of the just to everlasting life and then that too of them that had done evil to the judgement much rather. Such sure is strong language to have put it so thus. I know at times all of us sure could use a good Word. How much more should the Lord to just come on by here instead. Then too as the Scripture would put it best, it's appointed unto men once to die is it not and after this the judgement. Though when you're knowing the Lord, perhaps it's just not as threatening then as it should. But should we not just see Jesus in all of his glory just as the disciples once in the garden of passion where our Lord had sweat as it were great drops of blood. My, in all of this is it not nice to know of God's care for his people. Indeed, he's the cure for anything thusly especially these disjointed expressions for which our Lord had once revealed his identity before all of the soldiers. But at this they had all just fell over backwards instead. Here it seems there is none so more true than John's words in Matthew about him baptizing with the Holy Ghost and with fire not too many days hence whose fan is in his hand and whose wheat he will send to his threshing floor for later or just then to gather up by the scores. My, seeing the Lord in his glory then is cure for almost any other such as this process disorder. Was it not at such as this that Lazarus rose on seeing the Lord only and that as such in the light of his glory. How some of us need a good Word as this truly that he's the cure for all of our theological makings, the swamp of despond we'd find ourselves truly, and also the Savior for the judgement that is coming on after. See is it not for no reason that the Scripture has said of the error of some having fallen away and forgotten this then instead. For then are the enlightened fallen and the mighty made low at this point then truly just in the prime of eternity, well a shaping up for all things really. How good our God is in the care of his people to let none of them falter nor yet to fall into sin. Sure, the Scriptures have said taste and see that the Lord is good time and again and then too that blessed are all them who have taken refuge in him. Though what will be the end of this matter that so then it be for our God will lose none of them that come to him just you wait and see. So then if it comes on down to it really that our God has then lost you perhaps you just were not serving him really. Then too how many have known him more than just some eternal genie high in the sky but as the captain of our own eternal salvation much rather and also to all who would but come to him then in prayer.
