Repentance and the Feast of Trumpets
Letter from the Editor
Mustard Seed - September/October 2008
Hello Brethren,
How valuable are you? We can read about various multi-millionaires that are suppose to be worth so many millions of dollars. This estimation is calculated in accordance to their holdings (buildings, companies, etc) but, if that person value was calculated in accordance to their body’s value, that is, if all the salt, iron, gold and silver in his body was weighed he would be valued at about $ 1.00- $2 .00, that is humbling to any person to realized that they are valued at less than two-dollars.
This year at the Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles, take a loving look at all those $1.50 Tabernacles, and remember that they are “heirs of God.” (Rom. 8:17) and “ joint heirs with Christ..” God has put us into this heir-ship because of His promise to Abraham. We are in line to inherit the world because of God’s promise to Abraham. (Rom. 4:13, & Gal. 3:29), and eventually to inherit all things because of Christ. (Rev. 21:7). Think about the things that you know of today. Such as the earth—the meek shall inherit the earth. (Ps. 37:7-11 & Mt. 5:5). We can see by reading Revelation 21:5 that God has promised “ to make all things new.”
We should keep in mind , Proverbs 29:8 “where there is no vision the people perish (loosen).” As the people of God, we should ask the creator God to give us a greater and clearer vision of our future. The value, or worth, of every Saint of God is not measured in dollars or the holdings that we may have today. Our value is measured by I Cor. 6:20,
“You are bought with a price (value),” and our future inheritance….Rev. 21:7 “He that overcome shall inherit ‘ ALL THINGS’ and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
In Christ Service,
