The vision of the on-high
---When
the Lord spoke with Nicodemus he said that it is necessary that he be
born again, otherwise he would not be able to see the Kingdom of God.
The expression "again" can also be translated as " from
on high ". It is very clear from this that new birth is a heavenly
birth.
---A
similar thing can be said of vision. If we do not have a new vision, a
vision of the on-high, we will not be able to know the things that relate
to the kingdom, the things of the spirit.
---What
does God want? What is God doing? What does God propose with everything
that he has planned and does? If we only have an earthly vision we will
not be able to answer these questions with surety. Our eyes must be opened
to see in a new way; our understanding must be enlightened so that we
may think God's thoughts; our heart must be changed so that we can feel
God's feelings.
---The
central messages of this edition of " Living Waters " deals
with this important matter. They were given at a retreat in January, 2005,
in Rucacura, Chile. They have been transcribed and summarized, and are
now offered to the whole of Christ's Body, with the hope that they help
the people of God to renew the heavenly vision.
---May
the Lord show us his grace so that this may come to pass.
