In the Midst of Blessings lies the very hidden Stature of God!

To believe that one can stand above all other attributes of life as superior in every aspect that makes us complete we would need to go to the beginning of creation.  That would become an endless search into the realm of God himself, and never finding the element of understanding.

For us to be an accomplice of the Trinity would place the reality of divinity at our fingertips which is an impossible task since the Trinity had no beginning in eternity.  This is God who created all that exists for the love that was and now IS reality.  

How can any human truly comprehend the deepest mysteries of God, that do not come at a moment of need when he already is with each one?  That becomes the stature, the deepest internal essence of God’s care for each one of his children.  No where in all of our human endeavors will any of us find the same height and length of this deepest understanding that measures our integrity of moral outcome from what Christ earned for us.

Here is the answer to why God sent his only Son by a divine mystery the Incarnation.  Our soul, which is part of God himself, slipped on the road to perfection and was on the way out of salvation, the very premise of our creation.  The second answer to the life of Christ and what he did to involve our freedom from eternal death are found in each of the rejections that Jesus experienced on his road to Calvary.  All of this began with his baptism, the same as you and I.  Following this reception of grace he was tempted, as each of us is.  Throughout his ministry the message he brought to his listeners and followers regarding his Father’s plan to save us, is exactly what we, his adopted children, are to do as well.  Jesus never intended for us to just read about his mission and rest from the story.  Jesus Christ meant for you and me to copy his ministry, suffer for our beliefs in him, and if needed to die to self in order to set the greatest example of the plan his Father started.  

In the “Mystery of the Church”,  we are told the sequence of events opens as a stage play.  The first act presents the people of God silhouetted by curtains as a prophecy hidden for ages. This is the truth of things to come.  Act two we see the curtain opening part way as Christ enters on the scene as the one who brings the message of forgiveness to us.  This isGod’s plan revealed in Christ  The third act finds the curtain wide open exposing the mission of the followers of Christ and the task that the promise is realized through each of us.  This encompasses the plan our Father prepared from the beginning before creation and followed through the Passion, Death/Resurrection, Ascension of the Christ to our own resurrection at the end of time.   Here we live in the stature of the Holy Trinity.
