THE GLORY OF GOD

Today's mystery is THE GLORY OF GOD.

 Read JOHN 11. Lazarus' death. (I refuse to post it so that you may open your Bible and see for yourself.)

 Yes we have all read that story nothing new there am sure you like yeah yeah.....heard that before.! NEXT! But am not here to concentrate on what your traditional churches have taught you, what you learnt in school or Bible college.

I am here to open your eyes to a broader meaning of this scripture. The untold side of this story. The deeper insight that only comes with quiet time with God.

 So READ!

Mary and Martha were friends of Jesus along with Lazarus, but when they tell Jesus that Lazarus is sick look at His response, "THIS SICKNESS WILL NOT END IN DEATH. NO, IT IS FOR THE GOD'S GLORY SO THAT GOD'S SON MAYBE GLORIFIED THROUGH IT."

What did that mean? Was Jesus so cold? Couldn't He have healed Lazarus so these people wouldn't cry?

So in Greek Glory means DOXA = THE RIGHT OPINION DOXOLOGY (sp) = To have the right opinion of something.

 You've heard it used in Orthodox Jews, or Orthodox Greek = They believe their opinion is right and all.

 So GLORY = THE RIGHT OPINION OF GOD.

So now back to Jesus. His response This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's Glory, so that God's Son may be GLORIFIED.

 This sickness will not end in death. No, its so that THE RIGHT OPINION OF GOD THROUGH HIS SON MAY BE MADE MANIFEST.

Now look at verse 40 of that same scripture
John 11:40, Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see THE GLORY OF GOD?" insert THE RIGHT OPINION
John 11:40, Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see THE RIGHT OPINION OF GOD?"

Basically Jesus was saying "you guys have such a small opinion of God and Me, you think I can only heal diseases and forgive sins, walk on water, cast out demons, but today you shall see THE BIGGER PICTURE of God which is HE CAN RAISE THE DEAD AFTER 4 DAYS" (imagine maggots had already formed and all that decomposition and decay, taking place, not to mention the smell.)
So Jesus said that to show that God can DO ALL THINGS, STOP PUTTING HIM IN A BOX. Still not convinced?

ANOTHER EXAMPLE
Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare THE GLORY of God (insert "the right opinion of God")
The heavens declare THE RIGHT OPINION OF GOD.
Hebrews 1:3 He is the radiance of the Glory of God.....
He is the radiance of THE RIGHT OPINION OF GOD.

1Cor 10:31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to THE GLORY OF GOD.
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all so that THE RIGHT OPINION OF GOD maybe seen through you.

Get any Scripture with the GLORY OF GOD and see...(Philippians 2: 9-11, Exodus 24:17 etc)
THE MOST AMAZING PART!!!!!!!

Didn't you ever wonder how Moses wrote the Torah without being born or present at that time?
READ Exodus 33:18-21 emphasis on 18 and 21 (Moses' qtn and God's Response)
Moses asked God to show Him His glory, but God said He wouldn't handle it, thus showing Him His back.
GLORY= RIGHT OPINION OF GOD
God couldn't show Moses His front because it would show the FUTURE GLORY = (FUTURE OPINION OF GOD).

Confusing right? Read the bottom 1st then come back and read. Will make sense then.

But God showed Him His Back (PAST GLORY = PAST RIGHT OPINION OF GOD) That is how Moses was able to write Genesis , he wasn't there but He saw GOD'S VIEW OF CREATION AKA GENESIS that day and that is how he was able to give it from God's view n all, THE RIGHT OPINION ABOUT THE CREATION.

Ok I over hyped it but i was so amazed and blown away and I hope you will be too.

I take no credit for this discovery, it was a sermon I watched on TBN from BISHOP JOHN FRANCIS. It changed my life and Opinion of God and continues to do so when I am limiting Abbas Father. Stay Blessed and May God continue to do a good work in you.
