Reflecting Pure Love

"The prostitutes and tax collectors were attracted to Jesus because in him they recognized the truth about themselves, they saw the Life of their original design being mirrored in him and made them realize that the life they lived before was a lie!"


"The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not." John 1:5.
Note that John says that Light and dark co-exist, but dark has not comprehended/recognised it. When they do, they will see that they are fill of light!! (Eph 5:8...ect)


" Jesus (the light of the world -John 8:12) came to his own (those made in his image and likeness - Gen 1:26), but His own did not recognise Him (John1:11).... because they had become DARKENED IN THEIR THINKING due to ignorance (Eph 4:18). They had become enemies towards God IN THEIR OWN IMAGINATIONS (Col 1:21)


The Gospel declares to mankind the Good News of their True identity. The Gospel is the Mirror that reflects back to man his true image and likeness, the image of Jesus is what he sees.(2 Cor 3:18) 
In the Gospel mirror He sees Himself -  one who is Fully God and Fully man in perfect inseparable union - Eph 5:31-32, 
He sees one who is Fully God and Fully man, being filled with all of the fullness of God (Col 2:9, Col 1:27, 2Cor 4:7, 1 John 4:13, 1 John 4:17......)


The Mirror (the Gospel) is a constant reminder to us of our true identities - in his perfect image and likeness -  so that we may become mature, and reflect or true identity -the full measure of stature of the fulness of the Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. (Eph 4:13)
Then we wont be like those who look intently into the mirror and walk away and then immediately forget who they are.(James 1:24). 


The Gospel shows us Gods original and unchanged opinion of us, his beloved, and His Love induces a Persuasion and Trust in us to walk with Him, away from our previously blinding and misguided perceptions of Him and to BE what we have been, but neither perceived nor recognized, all along.... The objects of the most insane Love the cosmos has ever know!!



Such Good News!!!
Love
