MAKING THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
MAKING THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
Make sure the people understand God's law. Make sure that they know they, themselves--each and every one of them--personally personify, in their person, embody, in their unique bodies, God's laws.
Then, they will know that they are always a part of God, and that they are never apart from God in life.
Such knowledge: loves, empowers, emboldens, clarifies, liberates, refreshes, educates, fecundates!
'You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.' John 8:32. What is the truth? 'Greater works than these can you do, for I go unto my Father.' John 14:12.
With such knowledge, we come to realize that we are one. We are in Christ, he is in us, all are in God. One. No separateness, ever. John 14:20.
Such uplifting teachings were given to the people in Nehemiah 8, by Nehemiah, the Governor, and by Ezra, the scribe, who was both a lawyer and the high priest with joy.
