The Kitchen Newsletter Good day, Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God. Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word. What does God look like? This question has occupied the minds of believers for generations. The Scriptures provide a profound answer: if we desire to know the invisible God, we must behold the Body of the Word. The Apostle John encountered this reality while exiled on the island of Patmos. In Revelation 1:1–3, 12–17, he turned to see the voice that was speaking with him and beheld Jesus Christ in glorious majesty. He described His hair, His eyes, His face, His voice, His hands, His feet, and His robe. Centuries earlier, Ezekiel had witnessed the same glorious Person seated upon the throne, describing Him as having "the appearance of a man" (Ezekiel 1:26–28). These two prophetic witnesses establish an important truth: The Word of God is a living Person who possesses the appearance of a man and a complete body. The Body of the Word is not merely symbolic. According to Hebrews 1:3, "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being." Likewise, Colossians 2:9 declares, "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form." When we behold the Body of the Word, we are beholding the visible image of the invisible Father. Paul reinforces this truth in 2 Corinthians 4:6: "For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ." The face of Christ represents the whole Body of the Word, revealing the very nature and glory of the invisible God. This means that every detailed description of Christ's Body is more than a physical observation—it is a revelation of who God is. Consider John's description of Christ's eyes: "His eyes were like blazing fire." (Revelation 1:14) At first glance, this appears to describe only His eyes. Yet Ezekiel saw the same glorious Person and described His entire form as radiant with fire (Ezekiel 1:27). The description therefore extends beyond one member to characterize the whole Person. Scripture also declares: "Our God is a consuming fire." (Hebrews 12:29) The blazing fire of the Body of the Word therefore unveils something about the invisible Father Himself. Every detail of the Body speaks. Every member reveals. Every description carries revelation. These descriptions are themselves Scriptures because they testify concerning Christ. Jesus declared: "You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about Me." (John 5:39) The descriptions of the Body of the Word are therefore testimonies waiting to be unfolded. Psalm 119 teaches us: "The unfolding of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple." (Psalm 119:130) As these descriptions are unfolded, they produce the revelation knowledge of the Father. They illuminate His character, His nature, and His purposes. Take again the image of blazing fire. Fire communicates more than brilliance; it speaks of intensity, passion, longing, and holy desire. Isaiah describes the Lord by saying: "See, the Name of the Lord comes from afar... His lips are full of wrath, and His tongue is a consuming fire." (Isaiah 30:27) The Body of the Word, described as blazing fire, therefore reveals the Father's deep and unwavering hunger. This explains why Jesus repeatedly identified Himself as the Bread from heaven. The Bread of the Presence that continually stood before God in the Tabernacle (Exodus 25:30) ultimately pointed to the Body of the Word. Jesus declared: "I am the Bread of Life." (John 6:35) Again He said, "I am the living bread that came down from heaven." (John 6:51) The Body of the Word is therefore God's eternal Bread—the food continually before the Father. The imagery develops even further. The Body of the Word is not only God's Bread but also His dining table. Song of Solomon prophetically portrays this abundance: "Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies." (Song of Solomon 7:2) God's delight continually rests upon the Body of His Word. Isaiah then introduces another remarkable picture: "He put on righteousness as His breastplate... and wrapped Himself in zeal as in a cloak." (Isaiah 59:17) Zeal is presented as one of God's garments. Throughout Scripture, God's garments reveal aspects of His own Person. John writes: "On His robe and on His thigh He has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:16) Even His garments proclaim His identity. If zeal is one of God's garments, then zeal reveals another dimension of the Body of the Word. What is zeal? Zeal is the visible expression of God's invisible emotions. It is the outward manifestation of His inward passions. God possesses holy longings. He experiences righteous delight. He burns with purpose. He rejoices in righteousness. He is moved by compassion. These are not abstract ideas; they are realities expressed through the Body of the Word. The Body of the Word therefore becomes God's divine encyclopedia of emotions. His emotions are stored within it. They are revealed through it. They are expressed by it. Every member of the Body becomes a container carrying another dimension of the Father's heart. His eyes like blazing fire reveal divine passion (Revelation 1:14). His face shining like the sun reveals divine glory (Revelation 1:16). His voice like rushing waters reveals divine authority and life (Revelation 1:15). His feet like glowing bronze (Revelation 1:15), His robe (Revelation 1:13), His mouth with the sharp two-edged sword (Revelation 1:16), and every other member unveil another aspect of the Father's nature. These emotions have not always been fully understood. Jesus declared: "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world." (Matthew 13:35) Among those hidden treasures are the depths of the Father's own heart. Through the revelation of the Body of the Word, these hidden realities are being brought into the light. The Holy Spirit Himself leads us into this understanding. Jesus promised: "When He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth... He will receive from Me what He will make known to you." (John 16:13–15) As we meditate upon the different descriptions of the Body of the Word, the Spirit unfolds them and reveals the emotions, purposes, wisdom, and character of the Father. Our fellowship with God therefore extends beyond learning His commandments. It is an invitation to know His heart. To understand the Father's emotions is to know Him more deeply. To unfold the Body of the Word is to discover the hidden treasures of His love, His passion, His justice, His delight, and His eternal purpose. The more we behold the Body of the Word, the more clearly the invisible Father is revealed to us. May our hearts continually hunger for this revelation until every description of the Body of the Word becomes another window into the infinite glory of God.
