The Lordship of Christ (2) – Jesus Christ ; HE gave us His all
Psa 103:19
The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over all.
Through His journey of becoming man, equal to the very beings He created, living among them, bearing their scorn, arrogance, rebellion & dissention and then in embracing the real understanding of their humanity & lives on earth – He has set the stage for His Lordship & kingdom to be manifested on earth as it is in heaven! The Lordship of Christ is eternally set.
Further through His sacrificial death, resurrection & ascension and fulfilling the Promise of the Helper – He gave us His all in all! He fulfilled the heart’s desire of the Father!
He provided all that is needed for this covenant with God’s chosen people to be completely fulfilled in time. He appropriated all things to align & flow into the sovereign completion of His reign.
Therefore, the main focus point that we can receive through this message is that Christ wants ‘to Be’ & have His being on earth through man. That is the reason He made us – to rule in all His sovereignty through us on earth.
You & I are one of those human beings that He would delight to express His Lordship through in His kingdom, His kingdom reign, His power, His faithfulness, His wholeness in & for humankind in the midst of chaos, anarchy & turmoil in this life.
Especially in these days where we at times do sense that the wheels could easily come off. Yet we as believers in Christ know & we can say in all humility & dependency upon Him:
“But for the grace of God, there I go…! But for the Lordship of Christ over my life, there I go!
Therefore, we know our lives really matter to Him. He has demonstrated & communicated it in so many ways that we are to receive from Him all things pertaining to this live, embrace His power, love and Spirit-presence.
We are then set to live through this package of the fulness of Who He is to fulfil His mission & bring glory to His name. We are set to live under His Lordship for indeed he DOES REIGN over ALL things!
2Pe 1:2-3
(2) Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,(3) as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue
Prayer:
Lord Jesus,
We have come to realize that you are sincerely acquainted with all our dispositions. We therefore step into that place of leaning over & aligning ourselves to Your lead & Lordship in our lives.
Helps us to purposefully re-focus on Your all-powerful abilities, know how, supreme wisdom & eternally purposed plan which will bring all things together in cohesion as we then follow after You through Your life-giving presence within us.
We love You Lord with every fiber of our being and we thank You that Your Lordship also means that we can follow You as You lead and not as we have planned it!
Amen
