Lifting The Veil EP109

From the transcript...

Oh, we’re finding our way through this wild life. His love shines brighter than the brightest light.

2 Corinthians 3:18—so you’re being changed into the same image. As we behold Jesus, He transforms us into what He is. We begin to awaken to the reality that we are joined to Him, one with Him, complete in Him. We’re in union—a life-giving union.

But we don’t really understand what that means until we see it in Him. And that’s when transformation begins. The word there is metamorphosis.

It really comes down to not only how you see, but what you see. Because how you see is like that veil—your perception. You can be veiled. And then, what are you actually looking at?

One thing I’ve noticed in my own life is how my perception of people has changed. That’s where the rubber meets the road—I look at people differently.

When Jesus was teaching about prayer, He gave what we call the model prayer—some call it the Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father…” In it, He says, “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us,” or some variation of that.

And when He finishes, that’s the only part of the prayer He comments on. He essentially says, “If you don’t forgive others, your Heavenly Father will not forgive you.”

Two things stand out to me there.

First, how you understand the nature of the Father will shape how you interpret what He just said. Because some people see the Father as a legalist—a judge saying, “Oh yeah…”
