Mass is generally thought of in reference to physical substance; size, weight, density of a body of substance... mass is something real with substance that manifests in this natural realm. The Holy Spirit, the Ruach of Elohim (Breath or Spirit of God) that we read of brooding over the deep in the book of Genesis is the ESSENCE of Who God is. Jesus was the bodily substance manifestation or the MASS (in this natural realm) of CHRIST which is the spiritual substance of God in a BODY... He was CHRIST-MASS. Christ is literally the ONENESS of God and man... in other words, the Ruach (Breath or Spirit) whose essence is SPIRITUAL, manifesting in a MASS, a PHYSICAL body. Christ is also the collision and marriage of the spiritual realm - the dwelling place of God, and this natural realm of MASS. Jesus walked in both realms simultaneously... we find some examples in John chapters 14 and 17. John 14:3 says, ‘... I go and make ready a place for you... that where I AM (present tense) you may be also...’, well He was sitting right in their midst, yet He was in another realm also. John 17:11 says ‘And now I am no more IN the world, but these are in the world...’, once again, He was right there in their midst praying for the disciples, but in another realm also. Most Christians have no problem attributing these things to Jesus, however this same Jesus the Christ has some interesting things to say concerning US.
As we keep reading in John 17, verse 14 He says, ‘... THEY are not OF the world, just as I am not OF the world.’. Again in verse 16 He says the exact same thing. Now back up to verse 15 and He says, ‘I do NOT ask that You take them OUT of the world...’ and in verse 18, ‘...I also have sent them INTO the world’. So many in the church are looking for a rapture to take them OUT of the world, when in fact He wants to take the world OUT OF the church!... we are HERE in this world for a PURPOSE! Now if perhaps you think this was just for those disciples then, go on to verse 20, ‘Neither for these alone do I pray, but also for ALL those who will EVER come to believe in Me...’. And what exactly IS the PURPOSE?... the answer lies in verses 21 through 26: ‘...that they all may be ONE, just as You Father are in Me and I in You, that they also may be ONE IN US... I have given to them the glory and honor (likeness) which You have given Me, that they may be ONE, EVEN AS WE ARE ONE: I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become ONE and perfectly united... I desire that they also may be with Me WHERE I AM (two realms at once) so that they My see My glory... I revealed Your character and Your very Self, and I will CONTINUE to make You known... that I Myself may be IN THEM...’ (Amplified Bible). THIS is our PURPOSE, to manifest Christ, to be a CHRIST-MASS in the earth!... to manifest the ONENESS of God and man that is provided through the cross. When Jesus went to the cross, He prepared a place where God and man can be ONE, and that place of dwelling in ONENESS is CHRIST. It is the place where you and I DIE and are resurrected, NOT to OUR life and this natural realm only; but resurrected as he lives HIS LIFE THROUGH US... Christ taking on MASS... a CHRIST-MASS manifesting to the world.
I believe that just as the ‘celebration of Christmas’ with its pagan origin seems to have taken over the world with all of its commercialized materialistic negative impact, the day is soon coming when the CHRIST-MASS will take over the world as the kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdom of the Lord and his Christ... These will be those who walk in the same ONENESS as Jesus the Christ; those who are walking in both the spiritual and the natural realm just as Jesus the Christ. I also believe that this many membered CHRIST-MASS is being birthed into the earth even now... Just as Jesus was formed in secret in the womb of a virgin, even so is this CHRIST-MASS being secretly formed in the womb of a ‘Virgin Church’ and is now pressing into the birth canal. Don’t look for spectacle though, for just as Jesus the Christ was born in humility and obscurity, so shall this CHRIST-MASS be born... no big names and glitzy ministry facades. If your life and ministry seem to be stuck in an obscure ‘barn’ off the beaten path while the ‘Churchianity Inn’ is running at full capacity, don’t worry about it, there is a purpose.
Don’t get me wrong... I’m NOT saying that this CHRIST-MASS I speak of is not manifesting at all now, or that we ought to ‘wait’ on something. It IS for the PRESENT, and we should walk in the measure that is revealed, but we are only seeing a measure now... the ‘fullness of the FULLNESS’ is yet to come. I am enjoying CHRIST-MASS now, and I am looking forward to the CHRIST-MASS to come.
May CHRIST-MASS be a reality
in your life and may you have a blessed Christmas also.
