QUESTION IN FIRST JOHN 1:7-10.....(SUN PM 12/6/2009)

In the first chapter of the First Epistle of John, the Apostle talked about walking in the Light. This is the ore Light of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “[I] am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12). So the Apostle John was talking about Brotherhood Light and Brotherhood Blood, which applies to all things that prevent unity and oneness under the Cross of Calvary. Since the Blood of Jesus has closed the gap between Jew and Gentile, He can close the little tiny gaps in the Broth-erhood, collectively. If we stand under the Feet of Jesus Christ, and if we refuse to allow those little gaps to be moved out by the Blood that flows from His Heel, we are crucifying Jesus afresh and anew because we are saying that the first Blood that He shed is not sufficient to close the gap. It is not what we are doing to our husband or wife, our children, our parents, or one another; it is what we are doing to the ore Light and the Blood.

When we are speaking personally, within, we can be filled with hate and disunity after having a warm Brotherhood experience of unity and not understand what is happening. This collective unity can be compared to the hair of your head. Forexample, all Delilah could do was shear off Samson’s outer hair. But the razor could not cut out the roots of his hair. We come and give up our hair, as it were, of complaining against one another, and we feel the unity. Then, when we are under the personal side, the roots of complaining start growing again.
