"The
first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. As
is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such
are they also that are heavenly." ( 1 Corinthians 15 : 47, 48 )
In today's meditation verse, the apostle Paul compares the Lord Jesus Christ and the first man, Adam, and says some things.
Adam, the first man, was
formed from this soil. God created him from dust. That Adam was full of earthly
desires. Because he had the desire of the world, he disobeyed God and gave
place to the desire of his heart. If we are like that today, we are like Adam.
That is what the apostle Paul says, "As is the earthy, such they also that
are earthy."
But we are not made for this
earth; Instead, we were created to live with God forever. Those who are made to
live with Christ as heavenly beings. If we want to become heavenly beings, we must
become like him. That is why Paul Apostle said, "as is the
heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly."
If we truly know Christ, we
will be like him seeking those things where he is. "If ye
then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ
sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on
things on the earth." (Colossians 3: 1, 2) we read.
Beloved, we must always be
seekers after something higher. Our eyes should be looking upwards. A pig
cannot look up. The reason is its physical structure. It looks at the soil and
thinks that the impurities in the soil are big. But we humans are not made like
pigs; Created for a higher purpose. When we raise our eyes to God, we can have
greater experiences.
Although in this world we
have acquired the likeness of the earth like Adam, when we look to God and
change our ways, we will attain His likeness. "And as we have borne the
image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly." (1
Corinthians 15: 49)
Christ came to guide us to
reach a higher image and established eternal redemption.
Although we have now
received the likeness of Adam, we can receive the likeness of a greater glory.
Can receive the likeness of Christ. If we look towards the heavenly one and
follow him, we can receive the likeness of the heavenly Christ according to the
verse, "As the heavenly one is, so are the heavenly ones." That is
what we are called to do.
There's a saying, "Aim
for the moon; you'll hit the stars." Yes, higher thinking and visions make
us attain the image of Christ.
