Behold the King is coming to rule and
reign as King of kings and Lord of Lords. This will be the second time he
visits our planet in bodily form. Two thousand years ago he willingly came to
his own, the Jews and they rejected him as their messiah. Thankfully this
opened the door for the gentiles, you and me. He presented himself in meekness
with a purpose which he achieved in spades. He came to do the will of His
Father, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; a lamb who we sent to the
slaughter, where he was spat upon, and then crucified, a time of humiliation,
but this is imperative to note, he willingly laid down his life and paid a
price we could never pay. He died for the sins of the world, a sacrificial lamb
without spot or blemish, in other words he was without sin, and he took the
brunt of our sins. WHY? To open a door, which in turn enables the seeker to
find forgiveness for their sins. Prior to his sacrifice this door remained
shut. So unless we are forgiven in the Lords sacrifice our prayers will fall to
the ground unanswered. Mankind trying to reach the great “I AM” on their terms,
an impossible feat. It’s like me picking up the phone wanting to speak to the
president and expecting his undivided attention, but to the power of trillions.
But now I can, because Jesus has bridged that divide through his death. My sins
are covered, he paid the price for them, and it is a done deal. I am forgiven,
I cannot be tried for something I have already been tried for, and the law
refers to that as double jeopardy. Although the sin is mine and I own it as
such, once I call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, He has it in his
power to forgive or not. Why? Because he has already been judged for it. My sin
has been judged, Jesus took my punishment. Now if that doesn’t melt my heart
nothing will, thank you Father for sending your only begotten son to die in my
place and for my sin, thank you Lord Jesus for sending the Holy Spirit and
opening my eyes to this truth. I have settled on the fact that some see this
truth whilst others frown upon it, that’s just the way it will be, but I will
shout it from the roof tops, MY JESUS SAVES! And on that note, I have a
confession to make, forgive me Father for always squirming as I look for wiggle
room when it comes to the sin in my life, no more! Help me, aid all of us lay
down our lives to the full intent of your call. “Whoever calls upon the name of
the Lord will be saved” is an offer that is reaching its expiry date. WAKE UP
all of you on the fences.
Did you know that there is a book in
heaven and it’s called the Book of Life? For the angel to inscribe your name
into it, it can only be once you have called upon the name of the Lord that you
will ever peak his attention. I was ask a question from a dear friend, “Why
can’t God just forgive you?” The answer is he will and he does but only if you
come through the finished work of the cross. No one else has that accolade to
their name, NO ONE! God hates sin and he will always judge it, a penalty for
that breach must be paid, there is no impartiality with God, HE is righteous.
Hence the sentence Jesus paid on behalf of sinners, therefore if I ask God to
forgive my sin in person without the Lord Jesus’ cloak covering me, my sin
remains, and hence that day will soon arrive where it will then be judged, the
Bible refers to this event as the Great White Throne Judgement, where every sin
that hasn’t been accounted for, those sins that Jesus has already nullified and
already been judged for will be brought into the light and judged by God. Once
a guilty verdict is passed, the Lake of Fire is where that sentence will be
served.
It’s simple to understand, the only
question you need to ask is do you believe it to be true or not?
Behold the Lord is coming and this time
he won’t be on a donkey with a meek demeanour willing looking to laid down his
life as he once did, THIS TIME! He will be riding a white horse and arriving
with grandeur as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, where He will rule with a rod
of iron. Best you be found wearing His coat of Arms. Or else!
"Then I saw heaven opened,
and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True,
and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a
flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that
no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the
name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven,
arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white
horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the
nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress
of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh
he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords." (Revelation 19:11-16)
