EMISSARIES OF ZOE


Listen Later

 A very interesting event occurs in the bible, a man, a noble man is in search for the one true God, the church is new and preachers of the risen Nazarene are scarce,

 This man named Cornelius is desperate and prays all year long to find the truth .He does all good that Jesus in his teachings admonished, he gives alms, He is kind

God hears him and an angel appears to him in a vision

 Now there's an unusual relay of information here, this angel, a celestial being asks Cornelius to send for man named Peter whose words will salvation to Cornelius's household

 what does a mortal have that a being who lives in the very presence of God can't give.

 God will usher salvation only through the words of a Christian Fisherman

 Eternal life lay more in the embers of a believing mortal more than it did with an angel

 This oddness repeats itself further in acts, This time Jesus himself would show himself to Paul who he would instruct to send for ananais who will open the latter's eyes and fill him with God's Spirit.

 Jesus skips an angel and himself and places the ordinance of deliverance upon mere men

 except they were not mere

 For those who believe are the custodians of his grace and power

 we are not just fellow colleagues at work

we are not just wives and husbands to our partners

we are not just siblings to our relatives

we are "blessers"

 we command the blessing

we are bearers of light and of life

[we are EMISSARIES OF ZOE!
