Come back to me

Notes of meeting on 28 January 2014

Picture of Jesus in the Temple. The Temple was filled with light emanating from the Father togetehr with the Son and Holy Spirit.

The light seemed to gather a genbtle breeeze that travelled from the Temple in the Heavens down to the Earth in darkness.

The light became ontense and penetrated the darkness. The light seemed to become a hand of light that pushed left and right until the whole Earth was covered in this penetrating force of light.

Peopele in terrible sin felt exposed and yet felt a great warmth and yeilding of spirit. The hand opened up and cupped hold of them afirming them and they cried out for help to turn away from sin and stay in the cupped hand.

"My people I hold you in the palm of my hand. Turn back to Me, you are beloved of Me. Come back to Me."

Matthew 25 v 31-46

31 'When the Son of man comes in his glory, escorted by all the angels, then he will take his seat on his throne of glory. 32 All nations will be assembled before him and he will separate people one from another as the shepherd separates sheep from goats. 33 He will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right hand, "Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take as your heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you made me welcome, 36 lacking clothes and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me." 37 Then the upright will say to him in reply, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and make you welcome, lacking clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we find you sick or in prison and go to see you?" 40 And the King will answer, "In truth I tell you, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me." 41 Then he will say to those on his left hand, "Go away from me, with your curse upon you, to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you never gave me food, I was thirsty and you never gave me anything to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you never made me welcome, lacking clothes and you never clothed me, sick and in prison and you never visited me." 44 Then it will be their turn to ask, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty, a stranger or lacking clothes, sick or in prison, and did not come to your help?" 45 Then he will answer, "In truth I tell you, in so far as you neglected to do this to one of the least of these, you neglected to do it to me." 46 And they will go away to eternal punishment, and the upright to eternal life.'

We can know the joy of forgiveness
