Climb a Tree

Have you put yourself in a position where you can hear what God is saying?

Have you put yourself in a position where you can hear what God is saying?

Are you too remote from God to hear what he has to say to you? Come closer. Draw near. Put yourself in a position where you can hear God. Jesus released the good news of great joy into the Valley of Tears on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. The road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection is the platform from which Jesus gave us a high fidelity representation of the reality of God. On the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection, Jesus illuminated the darkness of our understanding of God in a glorious burst of epiphany. The wise anchor their understanding of God to the dramatic demonstration of divinity that took place on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. However, we cannot hear the revelation unless we go to the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection and climb the tree as Zacchaeus did (Luke 19:1-10). What tree must we climb to witness the story of divinity that unfolded on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection? God himself planted the tree for us to climb. The tree that we need to climb to put ourselves in position to hear the good news of great joy is the Cross (1 Corinthians 1:17). Climb the Cross. From the Cross, witness the story of divinity that unfolded on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. Testify to the truth. Save the world. In the process of saving the world, you save yourself. Don’t delay. Climb the tree. Have you climbed the Cross in the manner of Zacchaeus?
