As long as anyone has a sense that the work is not finished, that the debt is not paid, that the work is not over, then there can be no rest in our lives.
We have to understand that the rest which we receive is far more than that our sins have been put away.
We must recognize also that the law, the Ten Commandments, has also been fulfilled, and we are no longer under law, but under grace.
There is no peace if we do not see Jesus as our peace.
He is not just the perfect man at the Father's right hand.
He is the testimony of our full and forever righteousness, that we are now dead to sin, dead to the rudiments of this earth, dead to the law, and that as our high priest is, so are we in this world!
We are no longer under any standard of conduct, for instead of rules, we have the Ruler, the King of the Universe, Christ and Him Crucified living in and through us.
We need to be deprogrammed, and get simple and peaceful in all that Christ Jesus has done for us.
Not a new program, but to be renewed in our minds away from the empty folly of man's efforts and silly rules. That is what this life, His life, is all about!
More to follow!
