Such is the Kingdom

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Matthew 25:24

Indeed there are layers to this thing here as we have seen from the first. Remember how that our Father never grows tired or weary either though some of us might. For when it comes to the Lord, our might is all we have to offer or even to bring the great King. Nor is the might indeed hardly anything much save just a few efforts and such. How many of you know the text in Isaiah that calls them all as filthy rags from the start. It seems only our God could say such a thing cause he knows us too well so being possessed of our frame. I can hear some of you now going on about 'is it really' and 'how do you know' save but for the thus saith the Lord. See, as in Genesis 1 where he holds us all in his hands. It is everything needed so being made into dust for from which were we taken without anything save the strength of the building even that of the Lord. So too is his breath the very first thing that had entered our lungs. Might well you wonder how the Lord has thought of us such. Imagine, just consider now really, the beautiful world he had formed and how each frame is unique in its design so being beautifully made. You do not think you are wonderful sure. But just ask your husband, spouse, or your lover, if not for the Lord. Then to the eyes of love is dust a beautiful thing indeed even in death when the eyes have been closed. Then in that thing though as David described as weeds round his soul as to the depths towards Sheol he uttered though to God as one final last whisper as in death it returned. That thing then being little more than a prayer, being just the breath of the Lord. Consider really now he that inhabits his children even in death. For is it not all an act of worship before whom we bring the God of eternity before whom we'll never grow old. Though time in his hands, still death means little to him whose described as the ancient of days. It seems I can hear some of you now whispering 'that's not blessed I suppose.' Is it though really for when the strength has grown weakened and weary and utterly fails. That is why I have said the widow's last mite though naught but a coin, to the fish's mouth though on the shores of lake Galilee was enough to pay taxes and more. That is it was in the hands of our Lord. Could it be the matter with some of us such having not surrendered our all to the hands of the Lord. The trials of life come as these so often did for the widow before. Sure, she had not anyone there save for only the Lord. Indeed, that was all left to her from before. How many know though that when all have left you and everything's gone yet still unto the Lord you have only returned. Then too there's the hands of the Creator outstretched as though offering bread from the shore, whose paid it all in his hands, even from on the cross when death then arose. Just maybe it means little to you, this outstretched hand of the Lord as Isaiah once promised though his hearing is hardly missing, his presence gone then to you, nor his hands shortened as seen once before. It is unto this then that our Father has come, ruling all through it as hardly the King that was slain. Rather is he not alive at the right hand of our God above as testified from the garden and seen then on earth. To be seated then hardly means anything thus save just that the Lord having entered his rest up there as down here on earth. Come on now, herein do we pray the will of the Father as being done then on earth as in Heaven's mansions truly unless we had somehow forgotten as those that are fallen instead having left off his work. Indeed though to the dust that is becoming clay in his hands are we too not as the blind man in need of some healing. See then the King in repose whose subjects are neither missing, nor broken, nor not very well much have been loved. So then what of the kingdom that is promised as down here on earth. Has he not forgotten it in what has been left of the building, that of the earthly temple long since destroyed. To them that are resting in the hands of the Father are we blessed then indeed. For having not seen yet so then do trust. Is it any wonder then that the building should thus then appear, that of the kingdom even the Lord's. For our eyes in seeing then fail that may our sight then appear. Small wonder then this having seen thus of the Lord. Is it not a blessing indeed for all who would seek that would soon find as the Lord in his temple high on his throne should appear thus among men as one that had been there all along. It sounds somewhat galling to put it thus does it not almost as would a vinegar put on a sponge and offered up to this One much as would our Lord sacrificed up as a cannibal would his own flesh and his blood. All that then is hard sayings to those dispossessed of the kingdom as in the legions of men. Could it be the Lord in his offering as to them whom time had forgot only to find them swallowed up of his altar instead. To them that seek him are you blessed then indeed as those who come before the living God you would find. To those of the kingdom thus will you find a blessing indeed prepared personally and sent straight from the hands of the Lord. For such then comes in doing his will as those entered his house with rest for their souls. To them is the promise as laid before the foundation having come thus on back to the Lord.
