That’s
a very bold and defining statement! Who can say that? Who can believe
that? Of all the leaders in the world jockeying for position and power,
there is One Who has claimed ALL authority ... not just on earth, but in
the universe. And for those seeking life on other planets as is in the
news of late, He is claiming authority
over that, as well. Some say they don’t care or believe that Jesus is
the only Way to God. Well, whether one believes water is wet or not
still doesn’t change the fact that water IS definitely wet! I’m
convinced anyone who adopts that kind of belief system has not trusted
in the real fact that Jesus is Who He says He is. Jesus will always
prove Himself faithful to those that completely trust Him.
The
second part of that passage of scripture reminds us of another
profound claim … ”I am with you ALWAYS.” Think about your personal
struggles and victories. Difficulties are always easier to shoulder when
sharing them with someone else. Victories are always sweeter when there
is someone else to enjoy and celebrate with us. To those trusting in
Christ, He is there. Period. Not just when we are good or in sync with
Him … but all the time … even when our lows are the lowest. I don’t know
about you, but I find real comfort and strength in knowing there is
someone
alongside me when I am fearful, facing a big challenge, or am simply
trying to hang on. Jesus Christ is there because all authority is His.
Nothing or nobody can change or alter that.
Now
His ways are higher than our ways so we can’t expect our safety, health
or our circumstances to always be as we would have designed. But we can
trust in the sovereignty of God for the big picture and adopt the
statement of Paul that “to live is Christ and to die is gain.” After
all, to the believer He is our loving and caring Father; all authority is His, and He is always with us.
His
authority is for all of heaven and all the earth. This means ALL people
for which at some point in time will see that every knee will bow and
every tongue will confess that He indeed is Lord. Right From The Heart
seeks
to communicate that very fact to people everywhere. By you
