For the healing

Rev. {22:1} And he shewed me a pure river of water of life,
clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of
the Lamb. {22:2} In the midst of the street of it, and on
either side of the river, [was there] the tree of life, which
bare twelve [manner] of fruits, [and] yielded her fruit every
month: and the leaves of the tree [were] for the healing of
the nations.

Do you need healing? I know I need healing. There are so many manners of sickness in us- physical, mental, emotional. So many sicknesses. We need healing. A world heavy laden with sin needs to be healed. When Christ comes and we are raised to meet Him in the air we are changed. We don't know how we are changed but we are. And we are to heal. The leaves of the tree of life are for the healing. It's ludicrous to think that our minds are changed in the sense we aren't who we are. What point would their be in being who we are if we are no longer that core being that we are? The us without the sin corrupting us. Who are we without that? Do we even know? We get glimpses of what we can be when we look at Christ's life. No. We'll never be Christ, never be God, we'll always be the created and they the creators and that alone will forever be true sin or no sin. Christ took on humanity, our humanity and by looking to Him and His life we are given that glimpse of what life is without sin, without the corruption. We are given a hint of the love that God possesses, that He possessed as we were created in the likeness of God, creatures made of love by love, for love. When we are raised from the dead or from life into incorruption and when we are changed taking on immortality, we keep part of ourselves that is yielded to God. We keep part of ourselves that Christ makes new within us.


May this mystery of life be revealed in God's time to us and may we be ready when Christ comes so that we may enjoy the kingdom of God He came and preached to us, that He died to give to us.


By the grace and mercy of Jesus, now and forever.


Amen.
