Mat 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
What a glorious and joyful thing to contemplate, being "conceived" into this Family! To have the hope and promise to one day be fully born (at the resurrection) as a Son or Daughter into the Kingdom of God, a true heir to this Kingdom. Praise God!
The realization of the real depth of our Lord's humility and sacrifice was truly a revelation but it also struck me deeply when Ray pointed out that this was also a mirror Image of the Father's humility and Spirit of sacrifice. He brought up the point; "What parent would not trade places with a sick or suffering child, even enough to trade places in a life or death situation?" God the Father has a more perfect Love than any earthly parent, He suffered as Christ suffered. Wow!
This was a true Eureka! moment, at least for me it was.
Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Joh 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him and have seen him.
Joh 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father and it sufficeth us.
Joh 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe

You said this Joe : To have the hope and promise to one day be fully born (at the resurrection) as a Son or Daughter into the Kingdom of God, a true heir to this Kingdom. Praise God!
I find there is so much to distract AWAY from that HOPE. So many times there is something to take my eyes off this hope and then I do not hit the wall.....the wall hits me! Afterwards....then....hope returns and assures that life is all about HOPE!...
The Anchor to that Hope of course is Christ. Without HIM we are adrift....undone, unravelled and hopeless!
Thank you for your thoughts.
Peace to you

Hi Arcturus,
I am sure this journey is full of stumbles and falls but He keeps reaching down to pull us back up!
My prayer is the stumbles and falls become fewer and farther in between.
Thank you for the response.
His Peace to you,
Joe
