The Daily Blueprint for 12-4-07
James: book of Godly wisdom - part 13
JAMES 1:18
Of His own will beget He us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
We are making our way through the first chapter of James - I may go and do something else once we are done with Chapter 1 - be praying for God's leading in this -thanks!
Today's verse talks about firstfruits - at first this verse makes little sense to me - but as I have been called into this ministry its always been my aim not to explain the verse -but write what God puts on my heart - going into what James says - we must understand what God did for us in the person of Jesus Christ, His only Son - He gave all - He gave His Son totally to us - to humanity - His only begotten Son came to this little blue planet - lived like an ordinary man - and died a criminal's death - some would say what a waste - but dig deeper -this was God's plan from the very beginning - some say its too simple -how could God become a man? I say too its hard to comprehend let alone understand -but I still believe it - and I know it was the only way God could save us from our sins - Jesus became something He never knew - not even once, sin. Through HIS word HE has revealed to us the precious truth of Christ - and in doing so HE has created in us fruit of righteousness so that we would not be like the world around any longer -lets live our lives in the freshness of Christ - of His redemptive Spirit - and during this season of joy and celebration -tell the world around us why we are so joyful -what is the meaning of our joy! Lets shout it to the rooftops that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD - we need not be ashamed - we are God's firstfruits!
a side note: The GOD of Heaven became the Son of Man on Earth.
in CHRIST our lives are fruitful!
