Come Then Let Us Go To Him Outside The Camp Bearing
His Reproach (Hebrews 13:13)
Foxes Have Holes and The Birds OF The Air Have Nests, But the Son OF Man Has Nowhere to Lay His Head
(Luke 9:58)
The Voice Of One Crying In The Wilderness, Prepare The Way Of The Lord, Make His Paths Straight. (Mark 1:3)
I really don't know where I fit into Christianity. And I really don't know where this post is going for that matter. But My Two Cents seemed like the right place to be.
My Two Cents seems like an outlier forum, for those who have nowhere else to go, but outside the camp to share their two cents. So it seemed like a good place for me. Well I guess if nothing else, if done in the right way, by the right Spirit leading, being outside the camp crying in the wilderness, though not easy, is not such a bad place to be. And if I am in the company mentioned above, it's exactly where we all need to be.
Keeping in mind and the Spirit of what this forum was intended to be, that this forum is not a debate forum, I would like, if possible, for this to be a continual conversation. A place where you can join in too. Share your thoughts, tell me your own two cents, give me your feedback, speak to each other in a Spirit of Love, even if we should disagree. Christianity needs these voices, voices brought outside the camp, crying in the wilderness, saying
" This is the way, walk ye in it, make straight the paths of the Lord."
When I think of the Lord, in His final days on this earth, I think often of that scripture above, " Foxes have holes, the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." I believe there is so much more to it, so much more He was expressing than just physical place. I believe it goes right back to what was spoken of Him in John, that light had come into the world, but the world loved darkness more than the light, so they pushed that light away, they rejected that light, that crucified Him, in order to spare their own.
He had no spiritual place here. He was heading toward Jerusalem. He was focused on something. Even His disciples were finding His words and actions more and more strange, more difficult to understand. Who was this man? What was He after? Where does this all end? There was a greater intensity then than even before. Things were drawing nigh. There was little time left. He was calling people unto Himself. "This thing is serious." "No time for that." "Let the dead bury the dead," "No time to look back." "No one who puts His hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the Kingdom of God."
Yes, the pace was picking up. The times were drawing nigh. And the Son of Man, More and more had no place to lay His head. There is a lot more to that. He is saying something there. He is getting at something. What do you think it is? What do you think it means for us today?" What do you think about the day in which we live? Is the intensity picking up for you, or is it the same old same old? " Settle down Brad. It's always been like this and always will. Find a church. Do some service stuff. Nothing to see here."
Well, I will definitely be back later to write some more, but will close for now. But, I will just leave you with this before I go. It is a scary place, when the Son of Man, can no longer find a Spiritual place to Lay His head. He was not saying that to pagans. He was saying that to those who should have known Him most. But yet even there, in those intense times, He was cast outside the camp. The Son of Man had no place to lay His head. Do you think this happens today? With those who should know Him most? Or is the Son of God, in all these sects that branch off in a thousand different directions, Always allowed in all of His fullness to come in? Is He, no matter the cost, no matter what that requires, given a place to lay His head?
