And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some
doubted. (Matt 28:17)
The invitation is open to everyone to come and witness God’s
glory (vs 16), but it is really up to us to believe. Believing is to discard
everything we hold on to deeply, especially the religious ones and count them
as dung (Phil 3:8) in order to come into the revelation of the truth. If we can’t
let go, what we saying is that we will believe what we want to believe. We want
to believe in a god of our own creation or imagination in order to control our
entire belief system. Doubting is really to compare what He says against what
we say to see if what He says matches ours.
And Jesus came
and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
(Matt 28:18)
We will come to the place of worship because we choose to believe, His
words becomes Spirit and Life leading us into a life of complete obedience, by faith. We
don’t have to seek nor ask for His Presence, when we do obey in that state of
believing He will always be with you. It all begins and ends with believing
with a renewed mind transformed from carnality to spirituality. This glorious
transformation conforms us to the image of the Son of His love.
