We usually think that we are at Point A and we intend to, or at least want to, get to Point B. Point B is our destination. Sometimes we get there, but more often, it feels like an obstacle course, and the map keeps changing. We end up way of course. Or, there’s a barrier that we just can’t seem to get through.
But what if there were a B Prime, a destination we never thought of, but that’s what God had in mind the whole time?
I first learned about this perspective through the Lay Counselor Institute, an organization Dave and I have been involved with for pretty close to ten years, now. So, here’s how it goes:
Understanding “B Prime” begins with understanding what God’s purposes are for life on earth. What is the grand vision for what the Lord is doing? What is God’s agenda? What does God intend to accomplish in the lives of all humanity? How about in an individual’s life? My life? Your life?
Even these questions are based on a theology which, a priori, understands God is interested in individual lives. That God has a purpose, and a plan, for individual persons. And that the Lord has the wherewithal to follow through God’s intentions.
So what is God doing, can we even know?
I think we can.

![Gospel of John: The Life is in the Blood
#GospelofJohn #BreadofLife #John6 #Manna
Jesus had identified himself as the source and giver of life, and the One Who satisfies the longings of people’s hearts. Jesus had claimed the Father drew people to him, and Jesus received all those whom the Father had given him. Many people had begun to argue with Jesus and take issue with him. These were not the sort of claims they were expecting from the Messiah. But Jesus was not backing down or changing course.
In this half hour talk, originally given on Sunday morning at New Hope Chapel, Arnold, MD, Jesus delivered what was very likely his most offensive sermon ever preached. It would cost him the majority of his disciples, and act as a turning point in his public ministry.
I Bread of Life, John 6:41-51
Unbelief is basically a spiritual issue, not an intellectual issue.
II Broken Bread: Flesh and Blood John, 6:52-59
Jesus the Logos, His person, works, and words, are Spirit and are Life.
III Belief or Abandonment, John 6:60-71
You and I grow spiritually when we believe and live by truth.
(The Greek translation of John is my own)
