THE POSSIBILITY OF DIVINITY?

THE POSSIBILITY OF DIVINITY?


WHY is it that some of
Us recognize and SEE GOD in
This world? And others of us
DO NOT?


Why is it that some of us
See the POSSIBILITY of DIVINITY
In each and everyone of us
And OTHERS of us do not?


“........For my eyes have seen
Your SALVATION..........” Luke 2:30


2,000 years ago=on a NORMAL
Average day at the temple=two
RECOGNIZED the possibility=of divinity
In the COMING of our Lord
To the temple=
Simeon and Anna


Why is it that they were
The ONLY ONES? What did Simeon and Anna
Notice and recognize in Jesus
That no one else saw?


WHAT caused them to cry out
And CALL ATTENTION to the presence
Of the LONG-AWAITED ONE?


What calls us to recognize the
POSSIBILITY of DIVINITY in others?


Why do we see the
PRESENCE of the Lord in today's
World? While others just ignore him?


The POSSIBILITY OF DIVINITY=the
PRESENCE of the Lord in others


“Jesus LOOKED at them
And said='with man
This is impossible=but
With God=ALL THINGS are possible” Matthew 19:26


Yes=creation=DIVINITY=life=is
IMPOSSIBLE=left up to us-man=BUT
With God=Jesus=the possibility
Of divinity and life=lives within us=
EACH of us=because of them


“If you CAN?”=said Jesus=
”EVERYTHING is possible
For the one who BELIEVES” Mark 9:23


YES=Anna and Simeon=BELIEVED
In God and Jesus=just the SAME WAY
You and I believe=if
Not more so


Just IMAGINE=both of them=
For years=looking and gazing
At the face of EVERY child
And woman=THINKING=


“ARE YOU THE ONE?”


IMAGINE a lifetime of looking
INTO the face of every baby=
Of every human being


And SEEING the possibility
Of divinity


YEARS of PRAYER=allowed them
To see the ROOT in the baby Jesus=
Just the same way=
YEARS of prayer and attentiveness


ALLOWS US to see the
Possibility of DIVINITY of God=
In each and every one of us


The possibility of divinity=
We are all=ROOTED IN GOD


“IF the part of the dough
OFFERED as first fruits
Is holy


Then the WHOLE batch
Is holy


If the ROOT is holy
So are the branches” Romans 11:16


“I-Jesus-
Have sent the ANGEL
To give you
The TESTIMONY
For the churches


I am the ROOT
And the OFFSPRING of David
Ant the bright MORNING STAR” Revelation 22:16


Simeon and Anna RECOGNIZED that
Jesus was the HOLY ONE=the SAME should
Be TRUE for each of us


Will we recognize the LORD'S
PRESENCE in the world=today=and
The POSSIBILITY OF DIVINITY=God's
OWN SON=in each and every one of us?


In the names of Jesus and HIS
MOST beautiful-glorious-HEAVENLY FATH
