honey
gospel
by Chris Joel Lopez
God didn't prepare a fast for the breakthroughs you need. He prepared a feast, a feast that releases breakthroughs with each bite and drink.
Bees tend to beauty and pleasure and the byproduct is sweet honey. Bees flourish in their purpose by tending to beauty and sweetness! Flying bees meet grounded wildflowers.
Heaven meets Earth.
Gold.
Translucent.
Divine.
Royal.
Pure.
Wildflowers and bees are both light. Lighthearted work and pleasure create rich honey. A bee's work is Edenic, pleasurable, carefree, and beautiful.
I can’t help but see Christ Jesus in this. Heaven perfectly mixed with Earth = Christ Jesus. The heavenly song becoming flesh and bone. Immanuel. Golden Divinity wrapped in humble humanity. Honey dropping from the sacred tree in the Highest Heavens onto the Earth.
One drop of honey is 200 wildflowers. The gospel is sweet like honey, made up of countless beautiful exotic heavenly flowers, the endless riches and treasures of Christ.
Jesus is sweet like honey.
Jesus is the honey gospel.
