What if the sword in Jesus’s mouth is to speak such truth in love that all hopelessness, lies, judgement and pain are washed away in whoever hears his words?

What if the fire in his eyes is to touch the soul and spirit so deeply with love that all brokenness is healed in whoever looks into his eyes?

What if we were really capable of being just like Jesus and the swords in our mouths and the fire in our eyes did the same thing?

I honestly don’t think we can do this.
at all.
unless we step into Jesus and live from his heart.

I think this is what “he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus” means — real living is about being fully alive in Christ, being one with him, united with him, which is the same as living in the heavenly realms.

Heaven on earth. Let’s practice really living.
