Ask to Receive, Seek to Find and Knock to Enter
Looking for something Strange? Has your world become so Multifaceted, Imaginary and Simulated that her Reality is unexplainable? Strangely enough folks believe the Complexities-of-Life can be solved asking like members of society. Like employees at Disney in China who promote this saying: “If there’s a problem, look for a party member.”[1] On the surface this slogan is innocent enough, in fact colluding can generate plenty of Diverse-Interests. Christ once commented Ask to Receive, Seek to Find and Knock to Enter; do you think he was referring to Co-workers, Acquaintances or the Internet?
First of all, the Holy One scrutinizes His members who are Layered-in-Divinity and Fortified-in-Fact. Biblical testimony supports the Body and Moves-the-Spirit. Hallowed-Spirits exist through time and factual accounts. True-Life is One-Being with God the Father; His “Visible-Inroad” is Gospel preached through followers of Jesus across our Globe.
“Am I a Jew?” Pilate retorted. “Your own people and their leading priests brought you to me for trial. Why? What have you done?” Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world.” Pilate said, “So you are a king?”
Jesus responded, “You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.” “What is truth?” Pilate asked. Then he went out again to the people and told them, “He is not guilty of any crime. But you have a custom of asking me to release one prisoner each year at Passover. Would you like me to release this ‘King of the Jews’?” But they shouted back, “No! Not this man. We want Barabbas!” (Barabbas was a revolutionary.) (John 18:35-40 NLT)
Being a Radical in this World can be quite effective. In Complex surroundings extremists gain Political and Economic support to bolster their Empires. However; our Mission is to support those in need and generate wellbeing through Christ Jesus whose Kingdom-in-Heaven supports its Party-Members.
