I'm imagining how the Dwelling of God looks like. Is ii surrounded by countless precious stones? How God does communicate w/ the angels? Is it echoing when God speaks just like what I saw in the movie The Ten Commandments? How do the angels praise & worship Him? Are there accompaniments of all kind of musical instruments while they sing melodious & joyful songs? If I'll join them singing, would they accept me? How many are the tenors, _base_, & alto? What does God's throne made of & how huge is it? If I'll approach God to hug Him as so much gratitude for all His love, would He welcome Him? What types of garments does He wear? How does He change His clothes, is it through snap of His finger? How many cherubim are there cuddling Him? I don't know. No one knows. Everyone is puzzled. Nobody can measure.
If we cannot picture it, this means that the state of His Holy Dwelling is immeasurably far behind than what we think of it. Jesus leaves His Father & the Holy Dwelling & lives in a simple family w/c is much simpler than everyone else's. All those years in His life on earth are but His devotion & zeal to the ministry; the people. Incomparable was His ardor for the mission to proclaim the Gospel for life's salvation of men. In the beginning He knew that He would be betrayed by men; enduring all the persecution & insults of the people including even His own relatives.
Jesus had gone too far not the way the people expected it to be but the way the Messianic Mission of the Father had to be. In the final hours of His mission & w/ consistency, the Son of God denied His Majesty, His Richness, His Glory, His Splendor, His Power, &His Holiness. All of the focus was His Divine Mercy for men & women on earth w/c include me & you. Though we believe how much pain He endured because of the wounds in His hand caused by weaved crown placed in His head & immeasurable wounds that almost covered His body because of the barbaric execution. But what's painful most is the mockery of the people whom all those years He ministered with, healed & befriend. Just so, the endurance continued until His death on the Cross. The Precious Blood spurt when His Innocent Arms & Unstained Feet were nailed. We can imagine how His Most Precious Blood gushed forth while He was struggling breath. Jesus never complained of the so much pain because He knows that His death through His Wounds should mean complete healing of the wounds of the people brought by sinfulness.
The Death of Jesus on the Cross is the fulfillment of our salvation, our second life. The revilement & most miserable death that Jesus sacrificed humiliated His Sovereignty. For everyone's sake, He became poor. But while He became poor, we become rich because of the Gift of Life & Hope; the life that we should treasure w/ ultimate gratitude & holiness; the hope that gives us ultimate vigor towards blissful destiny.
2 Corinthian 8:9 For you know thee gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sake He became poor although he was rich, so that by His poverty you might become rich.
Philippians 2:6-11 Who though He was in the form of God, did not regard equality w/ God something to be grasped. Rather He emptied Himself taking the form of a slave coming in human likeness & found human in appearance, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a Cross. because of this, God greatly exalted Him & bestowed on Him the Name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven & on earth & under the earth, & every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
