IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is totally free, unconfined by any of the conditions which limit the material of his creation. For him there is no yesterday or tomorrow. There is no Old or New but only Now.
For us, however, time is the constantly changing medium in which we are present moment by moment, day by day, millennia by millennia.
When we read the Old Testament we take ourselves back in time to the revelation that is "The Law of Moses" which was given by IAMIAM who was known as the Creator, and Supporter by his Chosen People, the descendants of Abraham. In those days, He was the one true God known only by the people to whom He had chosen to reveal Himself. We, the people of the New Testament, are the heirs to the testimony sealed by the Final Sacrifice.
The Jews of the Old Testament knew that there was the Law, Ten Commandments by following which they could become acceptable to God. They also knew that they were often sinners and that sin would bring disaster as it had done to Ahab and Jezebel. Abraham had pleaded for Sodom and Gomorrah and obtained a degree of mercy. David sang with joyful praise in celebration of the Loving Mercy that he had personally experienced.
It seems to me as I contemplate the record of God's dealings with the Jews that the core of all his revelations is that the freedom which he has created for all humanity is to enable us to become His agents and partners and for us to know that he is LOVE.
Our purpose is to do His will not by using His gifts to manipulate material or promote our beings into parodies of His Divinity. Towers of Babel are insignificant in the shadow of the lowest of Mountain Ranges. The beauty of all human Art is surpassed by the magnificence of the sky at night or the atoms of the marble out of which the Pieta has been carved.
It is very, very easy to become engrossed by the novelty and variety of material being but we have been created to become much, much great than anything of this world. For thirty-three years the Supreme Being, the Creator of all that exists shared as True Man the corruptible animal flesh of mankind to enable us to be guided to the perfection that still eludes us.
‘You must be
perfect as your heavenly Father is.’
At that time: Jesus said to his disciples:
‘You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbour and hate your
enemy.” But I say to you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute
you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his
sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the
unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not
even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and
sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the
same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.’
