Misunderstood

1 Timothy 3:16 Christian life is a great mystery, far exceeding our understanding, but some things are clear enough: He appeared in a human body,
was proved right by the invisible Spirit,
was seen by angels. He was proclaimed among all kinds of peoples, believed in all over the world, taken up into heavenly glory.

Jesus Christ was misunderstood and misread. He was not only a perfect Man, but perfect God. He was incarnate goodness. If we esteem Him highly and properly we will want to imitate Him. Self effort alone will not be enough in this task. It is only possible to achieve Christ likeness by receiving the Holy Spirit into our very being.

In recovery we to will find ourselves misunderstood and misread. The Good News for us is God understands all about us and He will supply everything we need to become the people He created us to be.
