His Presence Makes You Part of His Masterpiece "Radix" Part IX

You are like the brush in His hand that orchestrates the eternal masterpiece

Jesus spends much of His time speaking about and confirming with signs and wonders that His eternal Kingdom is real. The Disciples were with Jesus face to face when He did this. They walked with the King for three and a half years. His presence was real because He was really there. He also said He would disappear but that they would 'see' Him again. The world however would no longer see Him. 

When Jesus did 'reappear' it took Pentecost for them to really 'see' Him again. He sent His Spirit to bring His presence to each one of us. They even struggled to believe in Him when He appeared in His resurrected body. It took the Holy Spirit to make His presence real to them again. It was through 'the blessing and breaking of the bread' (Communion) that His new reality was visible. They believed when they saw His glory at the wedding of Cana and how the revelation of His glory is what changed the water into wine. And so it was when He sent the Holy Spirit that they again encountered His glory, the 'fire' of His presence, as we do today.

His presence is truth, love, life and the sharing of His Testimony. In His presence our heart is cleansed and purified because His presence is transforming us from one level of glory to another each time we receive Communion. His presence grips us tenderly like a brush or a conductors baton and when He moves our life becomes a part of His masterpiece. .

"Create in me a clean Heart O God, let me be like you in all my ways... So paint my life and I will share in your glory... Jesus paint my life! Color your brush with your charity, kindness, gentleness and forgiveness."

Each time we receive the gift of Communion we experience the power of the presence of the Lord. He is present in the bread and wine as His Body and Blood. The power of the Eucharist is to release us from the grip of the temporal to encounter the eternal. Our current reality is 'temporary'. The truth of Jesus is His eternal reality. He said this world will pass away and that there would be a new heaven and a new earth. He is busy building His Kingdom. He told Peter that He would build His Kingdom on revelation He shares with us as we experience deepening Communion with Him. 

As we experience His presence it transforms us from "rock" into "living stone". We are transformed by the glory of revelation when we encounter His presence (His reality - the truth). He builds us together, that is, He makes His Kingdom real by opening our spiritual eyes and ears. He anoints us to see and when we do the cup of our heart overflows. Our personal relationship with Jesus comes to life through our communion with Him.

It is in and through Communion that we experience the transforming power of His glory in His truth. There we become more the person who He created us to be - in effect we are being healed.

How have Communion encounters with the presence of the Lord transformed your life?
