Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":
I have known the story of Jesus almost all of my long life, but it is more fresh and startling than ever. Grace and I still have what used to be called �family worship� morning and evening; we are currently reading John in the TEV. Never has the hatred of God�s own people for the Son of God struck me as being so bitter and unreasoning; it�s straight out of hell! Never in the history of this earth has any one been so cruelly �despised and rejected of men�(Isa. 53:3) The story of Jesus is the
saga of eternity. To the extent that the universe is filled with intelligent beings, they marvel that people created in the image of God and redeemed by His love can be so devilish in their animosity toward the Son of God.
Now the world stands in a new relationship to God�s throne, never before known in its past: we have come to the hour of the cosmic Day of Atonement. It�s the hour Scripture has long said is the time when repentance for the rejection and crucifixion of the Son of God shall become complete and a people at last be fully heart-reconciled to the righteousness of God. One of the vivid metaphors that describes this �atonement� (or at-one-ment) is the �Bride� making herself ready for �the marriage of
the Lamb� (Rev. 19:1-8). Out of the human race that is corporately guilty of this rejection of Christ comes (or will come) a �remnant� as intimately reconciled to Christ as a bride can be to her husband.
At the same time as this �atonement� is in process, the rejecters in the human race will crucify Him �afresh� in a final frenzy of hatred of God. The grand Day of Atonement is the hour for some to be fully reconciled to God, and also the hour of �judgment� for those who choose finally to dis-believe the Son of God. It will be the time for Revelation 13-19 to be played out, with all that the prophets have said long ago. We have arrived.
