DIVINE EMBRACE Religion thrives on two lies: distance and delay.
Divine Embrace celebrates the initiative that God undertook to
cancel every possible definition of distance. Emmanuel is
introduced to a hostile humanity as the lover of their lives. Their
sins did not distract from his extravagant love. Our calendar
acknowledges the fact that 2000 years ago human history was divided
into a before and after Christ. While the vast expanse cannot even
begin to measure or define him, the invisible God of creation has
made his image and likeness known in the only possible space
wherein his being can be fully and accurately unveiled: human life.
The mission of Jesus was not to begin the Christian religion but to
reveal and redeem the image and likeness of God in human form. He
did not come as an example for us but of us. Much of popular
Christian doctrine reduce the life and teaching of Jesus to yet
another 'display-window' message, while the very intent of God was
to uncover the blueprint life of our design in Christ as in a
mirror, where he is introduced to us not as Christ in history, or
Christ in outer space, nor even as Christ in a future event, but as
Christ in you This alone completes your every expectation Col 1:27.
In John 14:20 Jesus announces the conclusion of his amazing
mission: his brilliant act of salvation was not to reserve a place
for a few in a distant heaven, but to redeem our oneness He boldly
declares, "I and the Father are one If you have seen me you have
seen the Father." Anything we thought that we knew about God that
is unlike Jesus is not God. "In that day (the day that you hear the
good news) you will know that I am in my Father and you in me and I
in you " He is closer to you than your next breath Now distance is
replaced with oneness. Oneness is not the end result of our
diligent striving or years of struggling to get closer to God;
oneness is the fruit of his labor and initiative and announces our
moment by moment point of departure in this life. Intimate romance
is ours now and for all eternity "He is not far from each one of us
" says Paul to a group of pagan worshipers in Athens. Acts
17:23-31. God is not more Emmanuel to some than what he is to
others In the light of the good news there can no longer remain an
'us and them' Nothing that you can ever do can make you more God's,
and nothing that God can ever do can make him more yours The
thought of you intrigues your Maker with delight Faith has nothing
to do with our ability to concentrate on God for at least five
uninterrupted minutes; faith is my glorious awakening to the fact
that my Maker is mindful of me He cannot get me out of his mind
Jesus is what God believes about you Jesus is God's mind made up
about the human race Awake to innocence, awake to oneness His words
are kisses; his kisses words. Everything about him delights me,
thrills me through and through Song of Songs 5:14,15 (The Message)
