WHAT KIND OF WITNESS ARE YOU?

[ScottA]

What is your witness of Jesus Christ? What would you say before God?

SPECIFICALLY: How will you reconcile the following passages (terms) if only doing so before the throne of God in the end?

John 16:16​

“A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father.”​

Matthew 16:27​

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.​

Acts 1:9​

Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.​

Revelation 3:20​

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.​

1 Corinthians 15:23​

But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.​

• Did Jesus go to the Father?
• In what "order" was He to come, if "one" at a time "in his own order?"
• Did He return--ever?
• What is the glory of the Father, physical or spiritual?
• Has He come into you in that spiritual glory of the Father?

Can you answer the above pole with complete reconciliation of all scripture? Does what you believe allow for it?

"For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us." 2 Corinthians 1:20​

If one walks not as CHRIST DID
Then where is Their witness and who is it they really witness of ................another jesus at best .
THE SPIRIT . WHERE IS IT IN MOST FOLKS LIVES . cause i darn sure dont see its fruits at work in a lot of even christendom .
What is the FRUIT of the SPIRIT .
IT darn sure aint in sin , it aint in trodding the words of GOD and of CHRIST under foot .
NO , that the SPIRIT would not DO .
Many are witness , on that i have no doubt . BUT WHO IS IT they and their fruits do testify of
Sadly i must say IT DARN SURE AINT CHRIST , its a flesh pleasing god and flesh pleasing christ that many now testify of
and use its love to seduce many right into the snare .

What is your witness of Jesus Christ? What would you say before God?

I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart, I will enter His courts with praise, and I will say this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice that He has made me glad.

And the Lord will say to me, "Enter my good and faithful servant, for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me."

“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me."

What will you say?

What will you say?

I love it--but it doesn't really address the question.

As for me, in answering your own question, I will say before the throne of God--even now: "I heard you, and now you are here having first gone to the Father--just as you said--and have returned. Which you did in me in the glory of our Father--just as you said, in the order of my own time--just as you said through your servant Paul. After all these years and generations--you came specifically to me--and I am eternally grateful. That is my witness!"

I suspect that you have made a mismatch of scripture by combining two parables that Jesus told in Matthew 25: -

The first parable is all about what Satan will do when he is imprisoned in the Bottomless pit and then returns, while the second parable is about Jesus' judgement of the sheep and the Goats.

Matthew 25:14-26: - The Parable of the Talents​

​

14 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. 16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. 17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. 18But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money. 19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.​

​

20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ 21His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ 22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ 23 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’​

​

24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’​

​

26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. 27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.​

​

29‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 30And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’​

​

The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations​

31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from 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 took Me in; 36I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’​

​

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘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 take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’​

​

41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’​

​

44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”​

Remember, we cannot serve two masters, only one.

I believe that Jesus died so that His Spirit could return and dwell in all those who are spiritually reborn. Or as Jesus phrased it Born Again.
