What if your mom told you that your older brother was not the offspring of your dad? What if she and your father had an incredible tale of angels, visions, and signs from heaven? When they told you that God himself impregnated your mother, and that your older brother, the one you’d played and wrestled with, was the Son of God, how would you react?
What insight would you have to impart to the world with this first-hand knowledge of the way Jesus was?
The most sublime and revolutionary teaching on the way we should live, next to the Sermon on the Mount, came from such first hand experience. This teaching took the world by storm, turned traditional thinking on its head, and contained some of the most incredible secrets to living a powerful and complete Christian life the world had ever seen.
Picture yourself back in the time of Jesus reading from the writings of James, the younger brother of Jesus. Think of holding in your hand a teaching so powerful that it is about to split history in half; so subversive that you could be tortured to death just for having it; so alive that you fear neither death, nor torture, nor adversity, but love floods your heart for even those who would kill you. Being empowered like this, who could stop you?
Gospel excellence opens the doors to living the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
One of the great promises that is central to the New Covenant is the fact that Jesus would take out the stony heart of the fallen nature and replace it with a heart fashioned like His own. You might be asking, then why do so many people fall short of this glorious nature that is the image of Christ Jesus? There is a reason!
The book of James tells us just what that reason is. It is not enough to just believe in Jesus or even believe that the Bible is the word of God. We are told from the sacred pages of scriptures that even the devil believes this and trembles. James explains what we must do to make a full transfer of our residence from the kingdom of this world to the kingdom of God and experience all the joys that are found there.
And how will that change occur, by trying harder to be more like Jesus? Absolutely not. This idea goes against the whole teaching of the New Covenant. We must look into the glass, the mirror of God’s word, to behold His glory and be changed into His image by the Spirit of the Lord (2Cor. 3:18). It is a supernatural thing.
When we come to God and fully surrender our heart to Him, we are given a new nature. But our mind has been molded and fashioned after the things of this world. It is corrupted. Therefore we are exhorted in the teaching of the New Covenant to wash our minds in the word of God. This will renew our mind and transform us so that we can know the will of God (Rom. 12 :1-2). James explains that the word of God is so powerful that when we lay aside wickedness and receive God’s word and embrace it with our whole heart it becomes engrafted, a part of our whole being and has the power to save (remake, renew transform ) our souls (James 1:20-21).
So I invite you to the banqueting table of God’s word to meet Jesus in His word, to feast on the Manna from Heaven, to look into the glory and to be transformed into His Image through the power of the Holy Spirit and the truth and promises of God’s word. Peter reminds us that God has given you “exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust…Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 2:4, 10)
