Dance Party
"I am yours" was the defining spiritual encouragement for me last week.
As I smiled repeatedly when thinking that our creator is good and actually calls me and you His own, I would hear in my mind again and again Christ's comment that the first shall be last and the last shall be first. I was left asking two questions about Christ's first and last statements.
# 1 - "Are the first and last statements in some form an ultimate description of Christ's mission - the first who became last?"
# 2- "Are the first and last statements a rendering of final judgment or more of a choreography?" Like in Revelation 4 where Jesus puts crowns on the elders (crowning them, dignifying them) and then the elders immediately removing the crowns as an offering of worship back to Jesus. Its like a first/last dance party. First-last. Last-First. First-last. And for the kinesthetics out there - lot of movement - (lifting off and on of the crowns.)
Well, if Revelation is a first/last, last/first dance party. It's my favorite. And I want to dance with somebody, I want to feel the heat with somebody. OOOOh, I want to dance with somebody. With somebody who loves me.......like the Son of Man.

Point two should have been written: # 2- "Are the first and last statements a rendering of final judgment or more of a choreography? (OR BOTH) :).
ReplyDeleteThe whole first/last dance that you have described put a cool image in my head of the dance. Kneeling down to receive the crown, just to stand up and put it on the other's head, and then to... on and on and on. I love how these questions play out in a dance. I can see it in my head! Thanks for sharing this Steve
