Nighttime dreams can be seen as a parable which enables us to better understand the life
we seem to be living in this world
where, as Jesus said, we will have tribulation.
Since Jesus said that He had overcome the world, we know that it is not something that God created, but rather our false concept of the world created by God.
We are oftentimes reminded in Scripture that I
am God, and there is none else
Deuteronomy 4:35,39; 1Kings 8:60; Isaiah 45:5, 18,21; 46:9
There’s a song from The Sound of Music
that goes something like this:
It was in the Garden of Gethsemane that Jesus, who, though tempted in all ways as we are, knew no sin (no sense of separation from God, His Father) agreed to become sin (take upon Himself that sense of separation—My God, why hast thou forsaken Me?
) in order to experience death for every man that we could become the righteousness of God
As Christians, we have attempted to worship God as portrayed in the Old Testament (a god of wrath, judgment and punishment) and also the God of the New Testament revealed by Jesus as Father and by Paul as Christ, the Father who judges no man John 5:22, the God who has mercy upon all,
Romans 11:32, the Christ in whom there is no condemnation John 8:11; Romans 8:1
Several years ago I wrote and posted on my website a contemplation entitled God’s Call wherein I acknowledged that I was called by God to write and had committed myself to that call. In 2012-2013 I posted about 70 Contemplations and abruptly stopped posting anything. I didn’t stop writing altogether, but I reached the place where I believed that I had to spend my time and energy walking out what I had already written before I could legitimately post anything else.
