Look at Him now!

"Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!"    

                                                                                      Revelation 4:8   NKJV 

Jesus Christ is no longer on the cross! He's the King of all kings, the risen Lord of lords. In heaven He is praised 24/7; the four living creatures each having six wings  never rest as they say, 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come' The twenty four elders fall down on their knees in worship before Him who sits on the throne. Day and night the worship never ceases. 

One can almost here someone saying, 'Look at Him now! He was tortured, maimed and suffered terribly at the hands of heathen people - people who just didn't want to recognise Him. He died and went to hell. But three days later, He rose again. The devil could not hold Him. He broke the chains of sin, gave the devil the shock of his life, and was resurrected. Look at Him now! He is victorious!

When you're tempted to feel bad about yourself and full of self-pity, just think about what Jesus did for you; the way He suffered to give you a place in heaven. Look at His hands and His feet; the crown of thorns practically riveted to His head, so deep in His skull that His blood is pouring out of the wound. Feel the pain He is suffering; watch the crowds taunting Him around the cross. They love a good execution. The thing is, He is innocent. But is He? In the world's eyes He is innocent, but in God's eyes, he is guilty - guilty of all of the sin you and I have committed. He chose to take this sin upon Himself and die in your place. Doesn't that make you want to worship the King, just to say thank you Jesus?

Praise Him: 

'Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honour and glory and blessing!'  Rev 5:12

'Blessing and honour and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and forever!  Rev 5:13

Just allow yourself to become lost in worship and see how He fills you with His love and protection. You are a somebody! Do you hear me? The devil may have said you are nothing but, you are victorious in Jesus - a more than a conqueror:

'Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.' 

                                                                                            Rom 8:37

Therefore, get up, stand up tall and straight and confess that you are a Child of God, forgiven, victorious, more than a conqueror and well-loved. Don't listen to any more lies; listen to Jesus, who is the Truth. Amen? Amen!

LOOK AT HIM NOW!
