STAYING GLORIOUS
GLORY FROM THE GORY
Last week we mentioned that the purpose of our existence is to bring glory to God. More importantly, for believers, we are recreated to declare God’s excellence and walk in good works that He predestined for us (1 Peter 2:9, Ephesians 2:10). God has decreed in advance that His chosen ones will be an expression of His greatness in many ways including miracles and character. While the glory of God comes through our agreeably good conditions, God’s thoughts are higher than that.
In John 9:1-12, Jesus met a man who was blind from birth. His disciples asked whether the man was blind because of some sin. But Jesus’ answer tells us something. Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.” (John 9:3, ESV)
There is someone reading this now whose glorification of God will not come from the perfections of health but from restoration and healing. Someone’s glorification of God will come through the darkness of their sins because they will be forgiven greatly and they will be evidence of God’s display of mercy. Someone’s glory to God will come from their gloomy days and dark lives because they will see God’s great light.
The context of your situation is that God has an opportunity to display His glory. Your life is for God’s glory, and so is your death. Your health is for God’s glory, and so is your healing. Your sight is for God’s glory, and so is your blindness. Jesus’ answer tells us that God can still get glory from the gory. God does not enjoy our glory, He creates His own glory from our humus. He manufactures His praise. You are blessed if you are not offended in God’s judgment, because He is the context overall. And it’s all about Him. Hallelujah!
ASSIGNED
NOT AN ACCIDENT
We exist because God decided to make us and the rest of the Universe exist. Some people believe they evolved from apes or some accidental collision of dusts. If that is you, then your context is different. An accident of existence can only accidentally make any meaning. And I wonder how an unintelligent and unintentional existence can make any sense. If you are just some product of chemical of no source, then there is no real need for a meaning to your life. You are just happening.
But we believe that humans were created by God. He is a wise and intentional God, so our lives are meaningful.
CONTEXT OF LIFE
Our years can be meaningless circles around the clock and our activities can seem never to add up, even our wealth and family; unless we appreciate the context in which we exist. Meaning is found in context.
The context of human existence is found in God, and meaning comes from Him. (Acts 17:28)
