The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Knowledge of Good and Evil, #14
Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; (Isaiah 42:1-3 NIV)
The meek, God-fearing people of the nations of the earth, always suffering from the unjust rule of unscrupulous kings, dictators, prime ministers, and presidents, are waiting for the Servant of the Lord to bring justice and peace, to put an end to war, famine, disease, poverty. The Servant of the Lord is Christ Head and Body.
It really is amazing how the Gospel of the Kingdom of God was changed from the coming of a righteous King to establish justice on the earth into a flight of Christian Gentiles to lay on their couches in their mansions in the spirit realm.
We may think the purpose of the return of Christ is to carry His Church to Heaven but this is not a scriptural point of view. The purpose of the return of Christ is to bring justice to the nations of the earth so the people, especially the poor (for the Gospel is to the poor), will be delivered from the heel of the oppressors who for so many centuries have kept them in poverty and hunger.
If we wish to be a member of the Body of Christ, to return with Him to bring justice to the nations, we must be brought to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity as measured by the stature of the fullness of Christ.
We must keep on washing our robe in the blood of the Lamb by becoming the slave of righteousness and rejecting sinful behavior. This we can do through the Spirit of God.
The victorious saints are ready now to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. As they triumph each day over the evil of the day, through the daily grace of Christ given to them, they gain increased access to the Tree of Life, to the body and blood of Christ.
If they learn to live by the body and blood of Christ, as He lives by the Father, then at the Lord's appearing their mortal body will be redeemed and then clothed with a body of glory so they will be like our Lord and will be able to see Him as He is.
Everyone who has this hope in himself is busy, with the help of the Spirit of God, purifying himself or herself by learning to distinguish between good and evil, and then embracing the good and renouncing, rejecting, and resisting the evil with continual diligence and vigilance.
Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure. (I John 3:2,3 NIV) (from The Knowledge of Good and Evil)
