DESTINED to rule

 

John 13:3

King James Version

3 Jesus knowing that the Father 

had given all things into his hands, 

and that he was come from God, and went to God;

Moses prophesied about Him.

GOD's prophets did the same.

The Bible is all about Him.

We speak of JESUS.

Destined to rule.

Destined to teach.

Destined to heal.

Destined to save.

Destined to die.

Destined to be resurrected.

Destined to judge.

There is no doubt about His authority to govern.

Scripture tells us clearly:

Isaiah 9:6-7

King James Version

6 For unto us a child is born, 

unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called Wonderful, 

Counsellor, 

The mighty God, 

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace 

there shall be no end, 

upon the throne of David, 

and upon his kingdom, 

to order it, 

and to establish it 

with judgment and with justice 

from henceforth even for ever. 

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Matthew 28:18

King James Version

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, 

All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Philippians 2:9-11

King James Version

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, 

and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, 

of things in heaven, 

and things in earth, 

and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess 

that Jesus Christ is Lord, 

to the glory of God the Father.

Colossians 2:9-10

King James Version

9 For in him dwelleth 

all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

10 And ye are complete in him, 

which is the head of all principality and power:

Of course, many dispute His LORDSHIP.

But the Bible answers that:

John 10:26-29

King James Version

26 But ye believe not, 

because ye are not of my sheep, 

as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, 

is greater than all; 

and no man is able to pluck them 

out of my Father's hand.

Only a TRUE born again can really accept the LORDSHIP of JESUS.

Without question.

But with great joy, delight, and anticipation.

Knowing the path has been paved by the LORD.

That we may have eternal life.

All we have to do is follow.

For in JESUS is GRACE and TRUTH.

John 1:17

King James Version

17 For the law was given by Moses, 

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

In all humility, JESUS acknowledges the power given Him.

And that's for the next post.
