Luke 12:32 … The Father’s good pleasure (09/11/16)
“Have Courage … for it is your Father’s good pleasure
to give You the Kingdom.” ~ Jesus (Luke 12:32)
In order to comprehend the deeper meaning intended within this verse, it is important to remember a few critical facts about Jesus’ biblical teachings:
First, that the “Kingdom of Heaven” for Jesus was a Here&Now, internal, Bliss-full state of being, NOT a post-mortem, external, paradisiacal destination (Luke 17:20-21) … Second, the “You” to whom this state of raw Joy & perfect Peace is given is NOT the self-centered ego-self, but rather the selfless Soul-Self – and only those Soul-Selves who are “reborn” in acts of radical Kindness &/or selfless service (hence the call to “Have Courage” — see John 10:34-35 & John 13:15-17) … Third, it is indeed the Father’s “good pleasure” to provide every single one of us with said access to this Heaven. After all, what else can a God of “perfect Love” do but the same? (Matthew 5:48 + 1 John 4:18).
