Deuteronomy,
Chapter 2, Verse 4
Command
the people: You are now about to pass through the territory of your relatives,
the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. Though they are afraid of you, be very careful.
Those that are beloved by God are those who revere and
follow His commandments. When we are infused with the Spirit of God others can
see it because the spirit within us is reflected in our physical presence. When we receive the blessing of God; those who
are not in the spirit can become afraid of you. Our Lord wants to remind us even those who are
close to us, even those who are relatives will be afraid of us and we must be
very vigilant and be able to see in them simultaneously the humanity of Christ;
to have peace while waging a war.
This peace comes because while in the presence of
the Holy Spirit; we have heard things that cannot be put into words and we have
experienced the truth mystically. By this truth we are compelled to follow Christ
and at times we too must pass through the territory of our relatives; yet ever
continuing our journey with Him. For in truth those who do His Fathers will are
His brothers and sisters.
