This Sunday all believers in the Lord
Jesus Christ celebrate again the great accomplishment of Jesus Christ, the
fulfillment of his purpose for coming to earth in human form.
It is beyond description in
importance to us all.
That God would so care for and
love the human race that he would come to earth in human form and then endure
such atrocious treatment at the hands of beings he himself created……it is all
astounding.
In the extraordinary act of going
to the cross and then overcoming it, the Lord overcame death, evil, sin,
sickness, pain, curses of the law, in effect everything that separated people
from God. His actions brought absolute
forgiveness from God for each one of us, those who would receive that. In a phrase, Jesus reconciled humanity to
God.
Jesus came to destroy the works
of the devil. Jesus came that we might
have life and have it more abundantly.
Jesus overcame the world and in him we overcome the world.
As he said, he is the way, the
truth, and the life. No one comes to the
father except through him.
There is no one else – nothing
else – that we should focus our time and attention on. He is Jesus.
He is our Lord. He is life. And he is coming very soon. He should and must be your top priority in
life. Yes, he will come again to impact
overwhelmingly this confused, lost society in which we all live. Come to collect his believers and then
shortly come to win a complete battle over those opposing him and to set up his
rule from Jerusalem. In essence and
truth, come to fulfill the prayer he taught us – Our father, who art in heaven,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on
earth as it is in heaven.
In all things at all times wherever you are,
Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!
