Pastor’s Pen for Sunday, 9-14-25
All of the misleading information that enters our ear gates and our eye gates are very harmful to a healthy self-esteem. God sometimes uses colorful language to point us to some spiritual truth. God gave us a creative imagination that is stimulated by creative language that challenges our psyche. We see God use colorful language throughout the Old & New Testament to stir the interest of the Believer. Throughout the Bible we find symbolism, metaphors, types & shadows, allegories, parables, and colorful language by which God reveals spiritual truths. For instance, Jesus many times used parables to convey spiritual truth. In the parable of the sower there is an analogy drawn between the sower sowing seed into different grounds and the Word of God being sown in the hearts of men, Matt. 13:3-9, 18-23. In the book of Revelation and in the book of Daniel are much symbolic language such as in Daniel 2:31-45 when God, through Daniel, revealed unto King Nebuchadnezzar different kingdoms, including his kingdom of Babylon, through the image of a man made of different metals that were symbolic of kingdoms that would be established after king Nebuchadnezzar. The Old Testament with its types and shadows, is filled with language that is symbolic of spiritual truths future. The priest’s garments were symbolic of the glory of God. The sacrifices, the tabernacle, the altar, the laver, the altar of incense, the candlestick, the shewbread, the Ark of the Covenant with all of its items all symbolized some spiritual truth pertaining to our salvation. One of the birds that God uses to convey to the child of God that he has the spirit of a champion in him is the eagle. The eagle is the symbol of strength, confidence, grace, and excellence. The qualities of the eagle not only reflects the nature of God but also the nature of the eagle Christian. The world may not value you, but God does. He gave His only Son and proved it.
