Good morning,
Last
week was a very special week in the history of the modern world. Even
though speakers in government settings in America dare not mention the
name Jesus Christ, one of the key speakers in the United Nations General
Assembly mentioned the name of Jesus Christ again and again. When
speaking to Jewish people about the coming of the Messiah, it is
unthinkable for us to link the Messiah and Jesus Christ in the same
sentence yet this same speaker linked their Mahdi (Messiah, the Twelfth
Imam) to Jesus Christ as his deputy. In a speech that attacked both
Israel and the United States, the Iranian President laid out a future
for the world that would make their religion the source of peace on
earth. It’s fascinating to watch as religious and political leaders
create their own realities to give acceptance to their plans to carry
out their rebellion to the God of the Bible. It happened in Bible times
as well. Aaron made a calf and declared that this golden idol was the
God who led them out of Egypt. The new king of the 10 tribes that broke
away from Judah did the same thing.
Paul pointed out this same
kind of rebellion in his day when writing to the Philippians. He was
weeping as he wrote about the many who claimed loyalty to God yet whose
conduct proved that they were really enemies of the Christ that God had
sent to pay for the sins of all mankind. Those of us who are genuine
children of the King of kings know better than to believe the lies that
are being told in “Jesus name.” Jesus is the Messiah, not the deputy of
some other religious leader. The Jesus of the Bible is coming back as
our Savior and will take us home to our eternal country, Heaven. The
freedom that comes with God’s control here on earth will not be brought
about by haters, but will be brought about by God dealing with those who
refuse to come to him for forgiveness and salvation. The Jesus of the
Bible is also the King of kings and the Lord of lords who will bring all
things under his control for the glory of the Lord God Almighty. Let’s
hang on to the Jesus of the cross while he carries out the plans he
made before time began. Never Give Up. Jesus is coming again.
Philippians 3:18 --- that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ.
20
But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And
we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. 21 He will take
our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his
own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his
control.
