What is the reality that we need to recognize? (Part 2).

Continuing the foregoing message:

4 - Jesus is concerned of this and try to take people away from the delights of this world. For this, He try to drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love (Hosea 11:4). For the disobedient who are very entangled in the things of this world, He uses trials and tribulations.

5 – The Church needs to behave like Moses: contemplate this world as I child who get on a train, having his last look at his current dwelling for which he will never return and, then turn her back on the worldly things:

• Heb 11:24-26 -> “By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.”.
• Gal 6:14 -> “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.”.
• Col 3:1-3 -> “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”.

In short: the Church need to obey the following verse (as Bride of Christ):

• Psa 45:10 -> “Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;”.

6 – To stay in the way of understanding in order to stay amidst the alive:

• Pro 21:16 -> “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.”.

7 – Jesus wishes the company of His Church along all the path;

8 – The Church, as the body of Christ, ought to feel the same that Christ. In other words, the Church ought to:

• let His choice be her choice;
• rejoice in what He rejoices;
• be grieved for what grieves His Spirit;
• love what He loves and hate what He hates;

So, have a good day having Jesus as your everything.
