I
long to see You Jesus, high and lifted up in Your Glory, in Your
wealthy prominent estate. You are rich in Royalty and flow with
Grandeur. You are covered with the precious Anointing of Your Father
as he said, "This is My Beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."
There is no name above Your Name for You are the King of Kings and
Lord of Lords. I long to See You, Jesus!
But
first I saw You differently. I saw You as one cast down upon a stone,
crushed as an olive. There You gave forth the healing balm to all who
believe in You.
I
saw You being stricken with great ridicule and yet You were humble
and You never lashed back.
I
saw you being mocked and despised by those that had little or no
regard for who You are. But, you said not one word.
I
saw You cast aside as a foreigner by those who once loved You and
called You Lord, yet You still loved them.
I
saw You forgotten and forsaken by those of Your own Household. You
still called them Your people.
I
saw You betrayed, stripped of Your robe and beaten without mercy,
hung on an old rugged cross, mocked, ridiculed, and left to die. I
felt it was all because of me and my sin. Yet, You could have called
ten thousand angels to release You.
Yes,
You were held a short season by those who were blinded by their
doctrine, traditions, and selfish motives, those whom God allowed.
The
same is happening today. Many are blind and they do not see the evil
doctrines and hideous acts they are condoning, pushing You completely
out of their lives. Many are cold, heartless, and rebellious. You are
still calling out to them in Your Mercy.
You
are being crucified afresh, tortured by the heathen and they see You
not. You are the Son of God but they are blind.
They
give You no esteem for being who You are. They cast You down and
consider You useless to them. They consider You powerless and weak,
crumbling under their rejection of You. They seem to despise what You
represent...Holiness...Truth...and Life Everlasting.
One day in the near future, "at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:10
Lord
I am captured by Your love for mankind. You suffered and died for all
who would call on Your Name. You went through much agony for us to be
with You one day. I see You Strong and Mighty...full of
Righteousness...High and Lifted up...Coming in Splendor to receive
unto Yourself Your chosen Ones...Those who call You Lord...Those who
are willing to die for You if need be...I Long To See You, Jesus!
