Who are we really?

  • “Behold, O Jehovah, and consider *to whom You have done this*. Shall the women eat their fruit, children of tender care? Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the holy place of the Lord?” (Lamentations 2.20).

The truth is that we don’t know, nor work out, who we really are and, consequently, what we are capable of. Who can fancy being doable that a mother could eat his own child? My this took place in Israel (2Kings 6.18,19).

Certainly we think that we would never do this. Peter also imagined never being able to deny Jesus (Matthew 26.35), but he did. This is the reason because the Creator, many times, brings some ordeals about us: so that we can lay down our hubris.

This cries for drastic measures. Otherwise, we will wind up dying in the holy place of the Creator. In other words, besides we wrap up passing away, we will bring defilement and desecration about people that Jesus put in our lives so that we can help them to meet Him.

So, when some kink comes about us, you can have for sure: it is because the Creator know who we are, that we are going through what we are undergoing.

But this isn’t to be thus:

  • “So that if any one is in Christ, that one is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (2Corinthians 5.17).

Comes the question: what really does it mean “to be in Christ”? Answer this question and all your days will be extremely marvelous, beyond all imagination (if you to live on what Jesus to reveal to you, of course).
