-Dream catcher - I believe in the law …
Trustworthy
I was born in Ecuador and raised Roman Catholic as this was the religion of my parents and grandparents. My mother tongue is Spanish and because of assimilation - I’ve also learned to speak, read and write in English.
At 12 years old, I really immersed myself into the reading the Gospel also known as The New Testament. The book of John really impressed upon me the man named Jesus of Nazareth. I then acquired a King James Bible. I quickly realized the dictionary was really helpful.
The KJV bible is composed of 66 books – The Old Testament which includes the TORA or the five books of Moses (The Lawgiver) is made up of 39 books. The Old Testament contains the law and the prophets. Moses is part of the mosaic that ushers in the Messiah. The New Testament which basically sums up to Jesus (Christ / Messiah / Anointed One) is made up of 27 books including the Book of Revelation. To me, Jesus Christ is the author and finisher of my faith just like scripture states. He is the authority in my life.
I truly feel that the book of Revelation is from Jesus Christ.
Revelation 1:1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 1:2 who testifies to everything that he saw – that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 1:3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of his prophecy and blessed are those who hear and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.
I’ve always looked at the world with a Christian world view. I feel other world views borrow from it - especially the secular.
I know the secular are articulate and sharp, but they don’t realize their religion is scientism. I’ve gathered all religions basically have their own doctrine, ethics, rituals, myths and symbols.
It’s hard to be faithful as organized religions capitulate to the secular modern ideologues.
Like many I’ve walked away from organized religion as going to mass failed to feed my soul; however, I still long for the gathering with true believers.
I’ve never considered it before, but to me a personal relationship with Jesus Christ makes a lot of sense. No one speaks to Father for me – it’s between the father and I and Jesus Christ is the mediator and redeemer of my fallen state.
Reading scripture - Jesus of Nazareth is special and sticks out.
He also says we all know the way.
He says the road is narrow - The kingdom of God is within you ... You must go in!
I got to thinking - Old Testament, New Testament ... it sounds very legal to me.
If there is a testament – there must be a beneficiary, which means there must also be a Trust and Trustee.
As the beneficiary of the New Testament, I claim the resurrection by being born again as a child of the living God. Trust in God is all you will find in me. I constantly ground myself by the thought - be still and know “I AM” God.
Who and where is the trustee?
The trustee is needed to administer the testament.
I get the feeling each one of us is a trustee and beneficiary.
God is before all things and in God all things hold together.
It’s better to trust in God than to put confidence in man.
I guess the only question left is - Where does your Trust rest?
