In the late 1800's a wonderful tale flowed out of the mind of Mark Twain onto the pages of a novel entitled The Prince and the Pauper. In this story two boys discovered they were identical in appearance and determined to change places with one another for a season to experience life from the other's perspective. One of the boys was Prince Edward, son of King Henry VIII, the other Tom Canty, a pauper and son of an abusive drunken father. The difficulties which ensued were monumental. King Henry VIII died, and Tom Canty was about to be crowned King of England. Finally, Edward's true identity was established allowing him to regain his rightful place to be crowned King instead of Tom. Imagine if we were actually princes destined in some dispensation to reign as ..".kings and priests to our God..." (Revelation 5:9,10) but living as paupers. Imagine all of the horrors of our lives as paupers were direct results of mistaken or misplaced identity. The similarities between the theme of Twain's novel and the condition of the church on the earth today are striking. You and I have been born again with God Himself as our Father (John 1:11-13). We have become ..".members of the household of God..." (Ephesians 2:19). We have been baptized into Christ as flesh and bone parts of His body (Ephesians 5:30-32). We have the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead living inside of us (Romans 8:11). We are ordained to live as Jesus lived (I John 2:6) and to do the works Jesus did (John 14:12). We must escape from our captivity and take our rightful place in the household of our Father. How do we do that? Jesus is our way This book provides a modicum of revelation as only one small piece necessary to help us move out of our old traditions into the new covenant
