John 20: 7
‘ And the napkin, that was about His Head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself ’ (For this is the Old Testament, now folded up and put in a separate place in the tomb; unfolded by God alone who reveals to us, through His Son Jesus Christ, His plan of redemption, and the riches of His goodness throughout the ages).
END OF EXAMPLES
So to conclude, I would like to draw your attention to a particular facet of the diamonds cut, the facet whereby we see their (individual) apparent callings. What is it about their purpose or life reveals an attribute or glimpse of who God is? We know the very reason for our creation, it ’ s revealed to us in the New Testament, we are called ‘ … to be like Him ’ ; 1 John 3:2
And in Rom 8:29
‘…For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren…’ But like Him in what capacity? To what degree? Will we be All knowing, All powerful, Omni-present? NO- How about Infallible? Or any other virtue, or attribute that, in full power, can only be ascribed to The I AM That I AM- NO- Of course not.
Yet we shall be like Him, we shall be like Him .
Yet The Lord says in Isaiah 40:25
“ To whom then will you liken Me, or shall I be equal? Says The Holy One.” Here we see The Lord uses the word ‘equal’
