Today we must gain and re-develop the ability to fix our ears and fix our eyes. This is part of worship. Attention, contemplation of creation, reading the signs of what is happening on earth, listening to the voice of the earth - is part of the revelation from God, because creation reacts.
I want to share from the Gospel of John on a very interesting topic - the third appearance of Jesus. It is not in vain that Scripture says that this appearance was the third. In this appearance, Jesus left a certain sealed secret.
I’ve been reflecting on such a thing that there are replacements in the world. Man under fear of suffering, which is the younger sister of death, is afraid of change, shift. We all keep talking about changes that are coming, how we need them, but deep inside we don’t want them, because they provoke both work, and suffering, and doubt, and pain.
Desolation has come to the House of God. Samuel grew bigger and bigger. Look, the right law of discipleship was violated here. What happened? - A lazy pastor who didn’t notice that a young prophet was ascending.
But the true ark is the human body. The Lord chose this ark for Himself - He said: "I will dwell in them and I will walk in them." Today the ark is the temple of man. Somewhat different from the box!
David had to become a warrior. He overcame severe trials. This was not a simple man. Then he became a sweet singer - he had to play, he cast out demons out of Saul, then he took instruments of praise from the enemies, he established praise in Israel. And, not being an architect, he even made a drawing of the temple.
Man is the most complex and beautiful creation. Apocalypse is about the inside of man. The perfect shape of the ark is not a wooden box, but a human body. The wooden box was like an image of the heavenly, like a shadow.
There are several understandings of the gift. Many people, including even shepherds, do not know their gift. It's amazing when we supposedly release gifts in people's lives, but we don't know our own gift.
