Last night in my Bible studies, I had a very deep understanding of a concept in The Message, Romans
8:29-30 “The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored. We see the
original and intended shape of our lives there in him.”
To me, this is the
bottom line with Christ. I understood this on a very deep level, so deep that it was
mind-blowing; that we see what we are supposed to be, how we are supposed to
be, how humanity is supposed to be, that we see God’s intention for us.
There is so much clarity in this understanding, in that our creation in relation to Christ makes so much sense as indeed we were intended to live in His likeness. We are given an eternal example to which humanity can look to aspire. Without this example, we are merely lost and struggling in darkness, self-absorption and complete unawareness.
Holding this example within our sight gives the light and guidance needed to achieve spiritual wholeness when applied to our earthly, everyday lives. Everyday people, everyday lives, becoming as they are intended to be: vessels of the holy, living life through the Spirit in purity and love.
