Before we begin it's going to be important that we get a few things out of the way. I am not creating a new doctrine, and I am not interested in taking away from the doctrine that is already available to us through the Bible. If anything I say can be argued biblically, please feel free to correct me, otherwise thank you for reading.
In the previous post I discussed how Daniel saw the Messianic figure coming on the throne of fire as the 'Son of man', whom Jesus says is actually Him. Now if we do some language transliteration, we'll learn that Messiah, Christ, and Anointed One all mean the same thing. There are simply two different root words for the same translation, in English and other Latin/greek based languages. In the new testament a soldier refers to the ones following Paul as "Χριστιανός" (Christianos) which literally translates to "little anointed ones". This word only occurs thrice in the NT, and is actually referred to in a derogatory way. However 1 Peter 4:6 claims it and says it is an honorable title, so be humbled that we can wear the name of Christ. The essence that I'm getting at is the fact that God has anointed us as He anointed Christ, with the Holy Spirit. We have been called to follow Him with our entire lives, and being a "Little anointed one" is the most important thing we can ever do in our life. However the fulfillment of living in this title is giving the right and power we have received from it right back to the rightful owner of the title. Jesus.
We cannot do this without first realizing it is a gift, which then allows us to be grateful for it. Then, once we become grateful for it we realize that we can receive it in its fullness. Once we have received it in its fullness, we can then give it away. This is what communion with the LORD is like. Giving because you have been able to receive so freely and openly. Receiving so that you can give. This is the beginning of authority. This is the beginning of our true walk in Christ, is experiencing the communion that He has with His Yeshua, his Adonai, and His Ruach Kodesh. That is what we are called to as Christians.
GOOD LORD, is that not the coolest thing ever!? Like, we're literally invited to be a SON of the most important, paramount, influential figure of the entire universe. The excitement that we feel about that is hard to fathom, and even harder to illustrate with words. This is why we must grasp the Son heart of God, because with a simple perspective shift we can see ourselves in eternal communion with a Father who really really loves us. The really crazy part about it is how personal it is. This is the intimacy aspect of the Son heart of God. Communion starts and ends with intimacy. Which I will talk about next post.
