LIFE IS A PUZZLE

"The prophets who told us this was coming 

asked a lot of questions about this gift of life God was preparing. 

The Messiah's Spirit let them in on some of it—

that the Messiah would experience suffering, followed by glory. 

They clamored to know who and when. 

All they were told was that they were serving you, 

you who by orders from heaven have now heard for yourselves—

through the Holy Spirit—

the Message of those prophecies fulfilled. 

Do you realize how fortunate you are? 

Angels would have given anything to be in on this!"

1 Peter 1:10-12

 

 God is the One who knows how 

all the pieces of life's puzzle fit together.

From the beginning of creation to present day, 

He is revealing each piece in its proper time.

 

I am thankful to be living in the age after the Cross 

when the prophecies of the 

Old Testament prophets have been fulfilled.

Those who lived in faith before the coming of Christ 

believed the promise.

We who live the faith today have the 

fulfillment of that promise in Jesus.

Yet, even we have promises that are yet to be fulfilled

We still look forward with hope to the 

promise of an eternal home that Jesus is preparing for us.

We have bits and pieces of the beautiful life God is preparing for us.

Glimpses of beauty here on earth that 

provide a glimmer of the beauty we'll behold in Heaven.

Promises in God's Word of an eternity spent in His presence.

Most of all, Jesus' promise that He is with us 

even to the end of the world.

How blessed are we.

 

I can't wait to see the completed puzzle of my life.

I'm thankful the Master is the One working it 

and that He knows the complete picture.

Praises be to God alone!

Amen.
