Christ Is Our Surety - Our Redeemer King

05/30/2022 11:58

Friend, Jesus the Son of God is our only Hope for Freedom, Peace, Love, Provision, Justice, Joy, Healing, Knowledge, Truth, and Goodness.

He has so many names they are uncountable by us.

As our Redeemer, He has made a Way in God's Plan for us to be with Him wherever He goes. He is our Shepherd and will lead us to Safety where nothing can ever harm us..

As His sheep, we are to be happy to stay in the enclosure that has no boundary for we can go everywhere in His Kingdom but we must stay away from the evil kingdom.

If we leave His Presence and willfully wander over to the evil side, we are lost.

He calls us the lost sheep.

He knows where we are. He knows what we're doing. He knows how we are thinking. He knows all about us; but we have shown Him that we like it better over there, and do not wish to be with Him.

So He will not drag us away from our choice.

But, if a little lost lamb says, "Oh, it was so much nicer with Jesus," or "I  have had my fill of this nonsense, there is not Goodness in it," or some such thing that touches His Heart, He is swift to run to that one for He has Power, (because He died on The Cross for that lost sheep,) to take from evil, those sheep that no longer wish to be with evil. 

He reaches out deep into the disgusting evil wickedness with His crooked staff, and puts it gently around the neck of that sheep, and brings it into the light, dirty, bedraggled, addicted, sins dripping from it, now rescued, safe, cleansed, made whole in soul and spirit; but with the consequences of it's choices still to be worked through on the earth because we are bound by the laws of the earth's leaders as well, in our bodies.

Like the prodigal son of the Scriptures, He welcomes that sheep Home with Gladness and celebration. That is the spiritual celebration in Heaven.

All the angels of Heaven sing about His Goodness in rescuing the sinner saved by His Blood at Calvary.

The body of man still needs curing. Now is the time of testing faithfulness because we are still living in the world. Sin beckons us. Old "friends and associates" gather around and laugh at our conversion.

Are we weak; or are we strong?

Do we really want our Salvation and are Glad and Joyful for Him Who rescued us? Are we thankful for The Blood shed for us? 

It was our sins that pulled Him to the Cross and nailed Him there.

Some slide back towards evil. The demons gather strength and numbers and chase after us, luring in ways only they can dream up. They win some and they slam down hard on them.

But the truly Grateful never go back. They make a point of hardening their resolve against evil, and softening their heart towards Jesus Who they realise is their Saviour God, their Powerful King.

Are you one of the lost sheep today: or are you one of the saved sheep, happily walking with Jesus wherever He leads with a song of Joy in your heart and a mind of love towards all people, growing in Knowledge everyday?
