Beyond Forms

Apostle Grace Lubega

Luke 24:14-16(MSG); They were deep in conversation, going over all these things that had happened. In the middle of their talk and questions, Jesus came up and walked along with them. But they were not able to recognize who he was.

It is impossible by human standards to be unable to recognise a person you have known for some years after merely three days of absence.

But this is what happened to the Christ in our theme scripture.

Why could they not recognise Him?

He had come in a different form.

The same is bound to happen every time believers are DEPENDENT upon FORMS to experience the Lord rather than upon true spiritual discernment.

This is the reason why some continue to miss and misunderstand HIM.

To the Israelites in the desert, He was the rock from which they drank(1 Corinthians 10:4).

Even His appearance in the flesh on the earth should be understood for what it was, a form.

After His death, Paul cautions us not to regard Him after the flesh(2 Corinthians 5:16).

Deception is not just misunderstanding doctrines or principles; deception can be the limitations you set in your mind to relate with the Lord based on the forms in which He reveals himself.

Christ is bigger and deeper than the forms through which He manifests.

When you open your mind to this understanding, you open yourself to greater experiences of Him!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Christ is bigger and deeper than the forms through which He manifests. When you open your mind to this understanding, you open yourself to greater experiences of Him!

PRAYER: My heavenly Father, what a spectacular truth! Thank you for lifting the scales off my eyes never to regard you from a purely human point of view or by the many forms you reveal yourself. This knowledge causes me to dig into a more deeper relationship with the very person of Christ. I am not indifferent to you my Lord and in this understanding, I am drawn into deeper experiences. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
