Genesis
27:1-5,15-29. Matthew 9:4-17
Joy is the context of the Father’s
Kingdom, eternal life the power
and glory of the living, loving
God who calls His beloved sons and
daughters to His Presence to love
and serve Him and their brothers
and their sisters according to His
will and loving purpose.
But let one and all realise and
fully understand that because of
the imperfections of the present
world and of everyone who has grown
to adulthood and old age there needs
to be self-denial and a reaching
out to the perfection of the holy,
perfect God, father of all born
into His world, that the imperfect
made be made perfect and the unfulfilled
brought to the Father’s Presence
in time and eternity in the grace
and power of Our redeeming, sanctifying
love to glorify the Father, Lord
Most High, and they themselves may
be given ‘a form like that
of His own resplendent body’
(Philippians 3:21 N.T.B.) to love
and serve Him in faith and trust
and self-giving according to His
will and loving purpose……
(Genesis 1:27)
