There's More To You Than Meets The Eye

Higher than the question of our duration is the question of our deserving. Immortality will come to such as are fit for it, and he would be a great soul in the future must be a great soul now.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803-1882, American Poet, Essayist

John 17:1-3
Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You, even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. NASU

You and I have a greater purpose on than we realize. Jesus realized and knew His purpose, and you and I need to grasp and fully understand ours. I like what Emerson says of great souls. We really need to be great souls here, for we really need to fulfill our purpose, just as Jesus did, by being about God’s business.

God has glorified you and I also, have you stopped to realize that? He has given us eternal life, and we know the King, and are accepted into His royal family. Jesus has transformed us from a temporal and limited existence and moved us into eternal realms with Him. I like the way God says it in Eph 2:4-6, “But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

So, now you see it, right. You and I are already royalty, so we just need to start acting like royalty. We need to be great souls that exemplify our Great heritage that is granted to us in Christ Jesus. He did not need us, but He, God chose out of His Great Purpose and Power, to LOVE us. Hallelujah, What a Savior. If we will focus on who God has made us, we will find out eternally who we really will be, for there is a lot more to you and I, than meets the eye…God Bless.
