OUR UNSELFISH GOD AND SAVIOR.
.......When the Lord said He would not share His Glory with another, that was not a negative against His People. Some quote that scripture and think God is somewhat pushing us away from Him but He is not. He was directly addressing IDOLATRY and AntiChrist exaltation's, not the beautiful charity of His love to His children who believe and belong to Christ. Let me explain.
.......We find in the word of God that God is sharing all things He has with the saints. In 1st Corinthians 3:22 we find that God in His great unselfish sharing love has giving the children of God all He has, all things that presently are and all things that are to come in the new heaven and earth. He said ALL THINGS OF GOD are now yours, things present and things to come, All are yours and you belong to Jesus and Jesus belongs to God..ALL THINGS ALL THINGS ALL THINGS.
........NOTE:......Since Jesus gave us His life, since Jesus gave us His blood, his very being even unto the pangs of death by way of the cross to save us and to bless us, would He withhold anything that He has made from us???? He HIMSELF is worth far far far more than the things which he has made...And Yet Jesus did not withhold from us Himself, His life, His blood from us. He gave us HIMSELF to THE FULL FREELY and joyfully. It is much easier to give us ALL THE THINGS HE HAS MADE...ALL THINGS ARE YOURS....CHURCH.
........And notice also in John 17:22 how Jesus in his unselfish SHARING love prayed these words for US the children of grace. He said, And Father, THE GLORY that YOU HAVE GIVEN ME, I HAVE GIVEN THEM...THINK ABOUT THAT...THINK ABOUT THOSE LOVE FILLED UNSELFISH WORDS OF THE ONE WHO LOVED US AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR US..He said, And THE GLORY that You have given Me I GIVE TO THEM (The Church)..that they may be One as We Are One.
.......Jesus' own Oneness and beautiful love life, relationship, and walk with the Father He has given us as children of the Father and as His brothers and sisters that He is not ashamed of (Hebrews 2:11-12). He prayed that with the Father and with one another we would be made perfect in Oneness of heart and life, sharing all Gods love and things forever in the beautiful ONENESS FELLOWSHIP that even Jesus and the Father has TOGETHER EVEN SO WOULD WE....THIS IS THE GLORY JESUS HAS GIVEN US.....IT SHALL BE AS JESUS PRAYED BY THAT GLORY IN GODS TIMING....What an UNSELFISH LOVING SAVIOR WE HAVE...Jesus is Wonderful.
.......We also find in the book of Revelations that Jesus shares with us even more of His Glory and Reign. In Revelations 3:21..Jesus says to the Church, the children of God In Christ he says these awing words...To those who overcome I WILL GRANT THEM TO SIT WITH ME IN MY THRONE (WOW WOW WOW---Share in My dominion and far above all Authority Throne) Even as I overcame and Am sitting TOGETHER WITH MY FATHER ON HIS THRONE....WOW WOW WOW. Friends, there is MUCH GLORY JESUS is going to share with us who have overcome in Christ. No we will never be The Eternal God Creator of Heaven and Earth but thanks be to God we are His Children, His Sons and Daughters in Christ and His love for us FAR EXCEEDS all the love of this world for its own.
........Folks God our Father and Jesus our Lord and Big Brother are far more loving and UNSELFISH to us (their redeemed family) than this world or the devil would ever let us know. We have a GREAT INHERITANCE. A GLORIOUS FUTURE.....ALL THINGS OF GOD ARE OURS, PRESENT THINGS AND PAST THINGS AND AND AND....Jesus is offering us to REIGN and to SIT WITH HIM in HIS THRONE for the GLORY that God has given Jesus, Jesus in His UNSELFISH SHARING LOVE has given us. Oh what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us.......deno.....share freely.
