Puzzle Or Picture
Pastor
Cornelius R. Stam
Where "rightly dividing the
Word of truth" (II Timothy 2:15) is concerned, our spiritual leaders are
like a group of people, each one of whom holds a part or several parts of a
jig-saw puzzle, but who fail to put them together and so never get to see the
picture.
One sees clearly that the so-called
"Great Commission" was a Kingdom commission and not ours. Another
sees that the "one baptism" of Ephesians 4:5 MUST be the DIVINE
baptism which makes believers one in Christ. Another sees that Paul’s
apostleship was wholly distinct from that of the Twelve. Another sees that
Romans 6:3,4 does not contain one drop of water. Another sees that the
Christian’s position is spiritual and heavenly in character. Another sees that
the Body of Christ, the Church of today, was never prophesied — even, that it
did not begin at Pentecost with Peter and the eleven, but later, with Paul.
But while each sees some component
part of "the Mystery", Satan has used tradition to blind him to the
rest. The result is that confusion continues to prevail and they still have a
puzzle instead of a picture.
If only they would put the pieces
together! What a clear picture they would see of "the Dispensation of the
Grace of God", and how eagerly they would join us in "THE PREACHING
OF JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO THE REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY" (Romans
16:25)!
