Signs from God to the World: ... Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? Mathew (Paperback)
Recently, as I was preparing material for a class on the spiritual character of the calling to ministry, and the degree of revelation that the person called by God needs to have in order to be effective as a dispenser of God's mysteries, I came to think that there is a process of prior preparation for exposure to the moment of Revelation. I commented on my restlessness with another ministry and I had the answer that when God decides to reveal his mysteries, the person has no need, nor time, to prepare, God does it in the decision of his Sovereignty and the person receives it, and transmits it.
However, as the days passed, the idea still continued, and although I understood that God's man and woman could do nothing to cause God to reveal His mysteries to them, I still wondered what Abraham did to be chosen from among so many similar to him so that God would entrust him with such a great project of restoration; what made Jacob loved by God above Esau; in general terms, what did the men and women of the past do, chosen by God so that He would entrust their mysteries to them, a simple choice without further qualification requirement?
