The Grace message is that Jesus loves
us and serves us. Not that we love and serve God. ---That is still
difficult for me to admit, but what humbling, powerful, empowering
truth! Woo!
The Grace message is simple. I love it
that Albert Einstein said something like, “If you can't explain it
to your grandmother, then you don't really understand it.” In my
experience, those who complicate the “gospel” are only mudding
the water so that you can't see clearly for yourself making you think
you need the speaker to be your guide. News Flash! The only guide
lives in the born again and leads you where you need to go. The more
awake you get to his love for you, the clearer you also see.
In grace there is no hierarchy. People
who see through the eyes of grace see that God's kingdom is flipped
upside down. We are equal to Jesus and each other. We have all been
given the same power in us that Jesus had which raised Him from the
dead. We lack nothing. No man has a special anointing over someone
else. Jesus is our covering. We need no man telling us what to
think because we have the Spirit who is our teacher. This eliminates
any illusion of “responsibility” (control) over people and frees
us now to enjoy each other in true relationship. In God's
upside-down, awesomely, cool kingdom, the least is the greatest, the
servant is the king, the children are the wise, the ones who say they
can see are the ones who are blind....do you have ears to hear that?
It's my favorite to explore the infrastructure of His upside kingdom!
