We are Christians, and without a doubt Christ is the true
meaning of blessing. How blessed are we that He chose to share Himself as a
blessing with us, the forgiven and children of God. I still don’t know what I am
to write but I am hoping that by the end of this letter, to us, I would at
least have something regarding blessing or being blessed.
They call it being in the favour of the Lord and that is
true I won’t refuse. Blessing, as I say it in my heart, it sounds like heavenly
language, like heavenly speech, perhaps it is because the one who wears it
lives there, He lives in heaven. And not long ago I have read about how That
Man, who lives in heaven, wants to empty himself outside of heaven and to come
live within us, so that we too can live within Him. Who am I kidding, He
already does live within us and we do already live within Him. (He is not YHWH
for will do and will not. He is YHWH for I AM BLESS you) I guess the blessing
within all of this will be for us to fully realise this magnitude of truth
invisible to the physical eye and clearly visible to that eye which is of the
Spirit. His Spirit and not ours. (We were bought with a price and no longer
belong to ourselves). His Eyes, not ours, He, Himself, and not us in ourselves,
we are no more. You see, it takes Christ to recognise blessing, it takes his
eyes to see it, His Spirit to fully comprehend it. I still do not know what I
am talking about, but I don’t have to worry about that because I know and am
certain that the Christ within all of us does know what I am talking about, Him
and not us, Him in us and not us within ourselves.
The blessing which is Christ is such that we do not have to
do anything to attain it, blessing is freely given. We just have to believe. I
take it that to believe is a verb, a doing word, an act of doing something, but
how do we believe really? Can we believe by ourselves? I seriously at this
moment in time do not see how I could believe by myself. Perhaps that is a
blessing in disguise because it makes me to become aware that even in our
believing, it takes Jesus Christ and not us, that in anything that pertains to
Christ Jesus, it takes Christ to realise Christ. We believe because of Christ
Jesus and by Christ Jesus. Again I might not be making sense, but I am taught
that it is the foolish things that make more sense than the wise things that do
not.
So yes, it takes a blessing to be blessed and to bless; it
takes Christ Jesus our Lord, the blessing of God, that blessing which is God,
to bless that which is to be blessed, which is the Christ within us. In other
words when I bless you I am really blessing Christ and when you bless me you
are really blessing Christ for it is no longer us who live but Christ Jesus who
lives in us, To Christ then, and by Christ, do I bless each and everyone one of
you sisters and brothers, In Jesus Christ’s Name, in his fullness, I bless you.
Blessed be the God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in
heavenly places in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3)
Amen.
