Jesus said,
"Surely the bridegroom attendants
would never think of mourning as long
as the bridegroom was with them? But
the time will come for the bridegroom
to be taken from them and then will
they fast".
Matthew
9:15
The true disciples of the Son of
Man are never deprived of His Presence
, and there is a sense in which
they are always rejoicing. For has
He not broken the tyranny of sin
and vanquished death for all who
live in Him.
Yet there is need to strive for
that which is their rightful possession
namely, perfection in attaining
to that which they are called to
become and do in the Kingdom of
the Father. That perfection is to
be achieved in and through My Presence
by the power of Our Holy Spirit
in the fullness of time. Meanwhile
each and every one lives and works
and suffers in the earnest hope
and promise of its fulfilment. Individually
and corporately. So there is need
for serious intent in accomplishing
all and suffering all and attaining
to all that is necessary. And there
is that to be worked for and suffered
in the children of the Father who
are not committed in the way of
the Kingdom, as it is given. All
are the Father's children the world
over, from time immemorial to the
end of time. My ministry is to each
and every one, and I call My faithful
followers to share in the work and
pain and joy of ministry to them
by prayer, by faithful action ,
in suffering and in love - at is
given.
