1 Corinthians 15:45 Greek translation: “And so it is written. The first man in time Adam was created a natural living soul, the last Adam (Christ), was a quickening eternal spirit of the invisible eternal breath of God raising the dead and bringing salvation to men.” Comment: Our natural body houses a supernatural soul. At creation eternity was placed in our heart! We think about where we have come from and where are we going? This is the eternity God has placed within each of us! There is an awe and wonder about life! It is a great mystery! What is my purpose? Life seems so meaningless at times? There is an internal struggle within! I want to do good but I do bad! I want to please people but the people I try to please are no good! I feel empty without purpose! My life is sad! I work hard but the rewards are small? Time is fleeting away! Jesus disciples felt the same way! I am sick and tired of this fishing! I am tired of collecting taxes! This medical work as a doctor is unrewarding! I hate tent making! Then Jesus came along into their lives! Remember Jesus had not gone to the Cross yet so his disciples were not saved and born again! They made every mistake that we as mortals make! I will never forsake you! I never knew the man! You are one of them! Listen to that Peter curse? I cannot hear you the rooster is crowing! You had five husbands! Lazarus is dead! Pay your taxes! We can overthrow the Romans! Put away your sword! Turn these stones into bread! They are casting demons out in your name what shall we do? How can we feed so many? What do you have? We have never seen such a man? You claim to be God? How dare you! Who art thou Lord? I am blind but now I see! The scales are removed! After the Cross they were saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit! They raised the dead and healed the sick! They cast out demons! Even their shadow healed people! Silver and gold I have none but rise up and walk in the name of Jesus! Their mortal bodies were quickened with the love and power of God! They no longer hid behind closed doors but faced their enemy! They were stoned, beaten, crucified, sawed in two, boiled in oil, cut in two, beheaded but no longer ran from the fight! They were endued with power from on high! They no longer lived like mortals made from dust but walked in the authority of Christ himself! They wrote the Bible you read today! Their testimony was true no longer wavering in mortal flesh! They were quickened by the living God bringing healing and salvation to millions! Paul got it as expressed in the Book of your Bible! No more excuses only conquer in his name! Spare me not from the fire that I may see you in the fire! The only foolish test is not to take God at his word! Let me not hide behind any organization that would prevent me from the challenges that only Jesus can conquer! Taste and see that he is good! The reformer Luther traded in his religious cloak for the garments of persecution! All his challenges were but made of the dust of mortals! When I am laid to rest my dust will not be distinguishable from any mortal that has lived before or after me! His quickening spirit within my clay pot will make the difference between life and death for me and for many! James and Hamsa Sasse, GodWhoisGod.com
