Daily Thoughts - We are an Easter People.
"Then the high priest rose up and all his companions, that is, the party of the Sadducees, and, filled with jealousy, laid hands upon the apostles and put them in the public jail. But during the night, the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them out, and said, "Go and take your place in the temple area, and tell the people everything about this life." Acts 5:17-20
"Peace be with you." Setting the captives free, Jesus walks with the Apostles until they understand. He spoke to them in words and actions they could understand. Slowly their worldly view of how it should be began to change. God was separating the light from the darkness. Their old way of thinking, living in sin was blinding them to the true nature of God and His plan.
"Then God said: Let there be light, and there was light. God saw that the light was good. God then separated the light from the darkness." Genesis 1:3-4. We live in darkness until we don't. The walk we make each day with God is a slowly chipping away at our lack of understanding and then TaDa, the prison walls are open.
"But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God." John 3:21. Where are you at? Behind prison walls or out living in God? It is a great mystery and it is a joyful mystery.
What is God saying to me? "My Son never condemns unbelief, He walks with us until we understand."
"There is a joy in My presence, all darkness has been removed, never leave My presence and allow Me to radiate thru you, all you have to do is be willing."
Have a blessed day, We are loved by God no matter our circumstances nor our unbelief or our lack of understanding.
Dear Heavenly Father, You stitch thru time and bring about our transformation slowly and surely. Your voice brings us into a deeper understanding and our world view changes until it imitates the view Jesus has. There are no prison walls that can hold Christ, there is no box that You can be held within. Thank You Father for speaking within, it is a joyful day and the temple area awaits. Jesus, I trust in You, Amen.

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
