This passage is an amazing passage that seems to draw me back.
I had a friend we can say is named Joe. Joe was married to Mary many years and together they had a small child - 'lil' Joe.
Years go on and the mother of Joe comes to visit
her grandbaby and of course Mary and her "son" Joe.
Now, Joe's Mom gets to see the grandbaby and sees the love her "son" Joe has for the lil guy. Mary agrees and also says how much the lil guy loves his "father".
Time goes on and after many years Joe becomes ill and passes away. Everyone misses Joe including Mary, his wife of many years and the lil Joe now a man.
Mary expresses to lil Joe how much she loved Joe and lil Joe expresses how much he loved his "father" and the phone rings. It is Joe's mom who after some conversation with Mary expresses how she misses her "son" Joe. Mary in tears says to Joe's mother, the love Joe left her with is still firmly in her heart and Joe's "spirit" lives on daily in her heart. Joe's mon goes on to say how there are times when she can feel the warmth of Joe's spirit giving her a hug.
So here we have Joe the "father", Joe the "son" and Joe alive in Mary's heart and his mother in "spirit".
These all represent Joe and we can accept this quite easily for the most part as being real and belonging to Joe in fact.
So some persons are able to see these loving characteristics in man but are not able to accept that these characteristics can be part of the ONE who is known as Jesus Christ as LORD, GOD and SAVIOUR or as FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT.
Why is that? Is it because Jesus was a man? It appears we can overcome that part for a specific loved one of our own but not with Jesus Christ.
GOD does call us to accept HIM.
Isaiah will say it much better than I can when he says that GOD's ways are not our ways and GOD's ways are higher than our ways and there is only but ONE GOD, ONE SAVIOUR. No Others.
How can we equate what we think with that of Almighty GOD and then conclude that GOD cannot exist in the 3 forms that represent the trinity but we are able to accept Joe as a father, a son and alive in the heart of his wife and mother in spirit? Man can easily accept man on man's terms but cannot accept Almighty GOD ON GOD'S TERMS.
Can we accept that? Each of us does have a choice. That is exactly what GOD will never take from us, our free will to love Him.
This passage goes on to state that all knees will bend at the name of the ONE. Otherwise, you will be worshipping more than ONE GOD or you are rejecting Jesus. Are we to bow before any other?
It clearly does indicate what WILL BE in this passage. Man does not have the control here.
We are called to make a choice and not to be "lukewarm" lest ye be spit out.
We know how the story of worshipping other gods turns out all through the Old Testament.
Asking GOD to come into your life and to show you clearly who HE IS never fails. HE will make sure you know HE is "THE WAY", "THE TRUTH" and "THE LIFE"
Peace, Love and Spiritual Joy to all.
In Jesus Christ, our LORD, our GOD and SAVIOUR.
Amen
