You’ve seen at least one of the following movies, I’m sure — “Freaky Friday“! “Big”! “17 Again“! and now “The Change-Up“! In those movies, someone exchanges his/her life for another, whether willingly or unwillingly. Before there were any of these movies, one of the biggest universal change-ups of all times ocurred and we could have missed it — even those of us involved in the change-up may have missed the magnitude of it. Let me cut to the chase:
Yeshua was made like Adam so that we could become like Him. — A CHANGE-UP!
ADAM
- made in the image of God — “God created mankind in his own image” (Gen. 1:27)
- had God’s nature — “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness” (Gen. 1:26)
- created to live forever — “…for when you eat from it you will certainly die” (Gen. 2:17)
- had free will . . . “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil“ (Gen. 2:16-17)
- in that free will he chose to disobey God rather than embrace him — “She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.” (Gen. 3:6)
YESHUA
- was/is God — “Who, being in very nature, God” (Phil. 2:6)
- made like Adam — “being made in human likeness” (Phil 2:7)
- as a man he submitted to death — “And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death” (Phil. 2:8ab)
- as a man he died — “even death on the cross” (Phil. 2:8c)
- he had free will
- and in that free will He chose to be obedient to His Father
Isn’t it wonderful that when Yeshua came He did not say that he was making us like Adam! He was making us like Himself! The first Adam is not our lot! That’s what I was! That’s not what we are aspiring to. I don’t want to know anything else about the first Adam or to become what he was. I want to manifest the 2nd Adam.
DON’T MISS THE CHANGE-UP. HE DID IT! WHEN WE ACCEPTED YESHUA’S ATONING WORKING IT WAS DONE IN US. Now our job is to live it!
It’s not Freaky! It’s divine!
It’s not Big! It’s gargantuan!
It’s not 17 again! It’s like God again!
We were not put on earth to learn ABOUT God. We were put on earth to MANIFEST God!
PRAYER: Father, we don’t really know what you have called us to. You want us to be great . . . because You’re great! What a great day to be able to say to someone, “You want to know what God looks like — look at me.” We just don’t know how amazing we are! Help us not only to live what you have called us to but to see it through your eyes! Amen!
