THE EXTRAORDINARY SAVIOUR

The Lord Jesus Christ is the superlative saviour. He is majestic and magnificent and awesome.

He willingly undertook to bear the sins of all mankind by surrendering to the Roman soldiers and then enduring a brutal physical penalty and then an excrutiating death on a cross. 

He undertook the death on the cross that we may have life but He also undertook the physical torture so that we could live healthy and be healed by His stripes. 

Further to that, in rising from the dead, He secured our resurrection and then when He ascended into heaven, He invited us to ascend with Him to be seated with Him in heavenly places. 

Further to that, He offers us His wisdom to navigate through life. He gives us comfort for the broken hearted. He offers peace that passes all understanding. He offers joy as a gift for just knowing Him and His salvation.  

He then goes further yet and Loves us with an everlasting love which He demonstrates to us through His faithfulness and His steadfastness and His patience and His provision and His presence.

There is none like Him.

Who is this king of glory?

The Lord God of hosts.

Amen.

THE LORD IS OUR REDEEMER

It doesn't matter who you are. You need to be redeemed by God.

You may think that you are exempt from the fate  that humans face when they are eternally adrift from God but you are wrong.

If you have not believed that the Lord Jesus Christ shed his blood and died to save you from your sins, you will be eternally lost.

The gift that is given for salvation is straight forward and free  and so it is perhaps easy to ignore it. However,  the regret of having passed up a free gift that would have redeemed you out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light will be a bitter pill to swallow.

At least give serious consideration to something that pertains to your soul because once the curtains close, there is absolutely no way of getting a second chance. All second chances are gained while you are alive on the earth. Once the silver string is cut, once the golden bowl is broken, your eternal destiny is sealed.

Call on the name of Jesus with a believing and humble heart and He will hear you and translate you from darkness to light.

THE LORD OUR GOD IS A SOVEREIGN KING

Praise and honor the Lord our God.  Even though our God is a superlatively great and mighty king, He is accessible to people who humble themselves and call upon His name.

He is near enough that He can be reached by humble souls who sincerely must have Him.

He is  wonderful and  gracious with mercy and kindness to give to those who ask. He is absolutely the best person you will ever have a chance to meet in your life.

 Seek Him while He may yet be found.

Amen.

 THE LORD JESUS IS OUR SALVATION

We who sat in darkness saw a great light.  That light is the light of Jesus who died for us on a cross.  He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven where He was crowned as king of kings and lord of lords. He was also made our high priest who makes intercession  for us before the Father.

This gift of salvation is imputed to us as righteousness that the perfect Son of God lived on our behalf. He also died on our behalf and in doing so, took our sins from us. We can therefore share in this great salvation by believing that Jesus did indeed die for us and that He has the power to save us having demonstrated his capability to do so by rising from the dead.

Believe in Jesus and His work of salvation and be saved.

THE LORD JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

In the beginning, God made the heavens and the earth.

In the beginning was the word and word was with God and the word was God.

The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.

He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.

Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.  God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.

In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.  The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

The Lord our God is the supreme ruler of His wonderful kingdom of righteousness. His kingdom encompasses the areas of heaven and earth. On earth, His kingdom is the means by which His awesome salvation is spread throughout the earth. 

The agents of His kingdom are those willing servants whom He uses as instruments to infiltrate the kingdom of darkness and win people out of darkness and into His marvelous light.  His kingdom is a kingdom of honor,  reconciliation, peace  and  love and therefore the agents He uses for the work of His kingdom will have to be trained in the practice of honor, reconciliation, peace and love. 

The Lord Himself gives righteousness to His agents as they put to death their sinful natures and embrace the life of the Spirit. As they forsake their fleshly desires, He adds to them the training for the works of the Kingdom and they grow in capacity and authority.

Pray unceasingly and subject yourself to the leading of the Holy Spirit. You will be guided towards growth in the spirit and your function in the kingdom will be shown to you. 

Amen.
