The Advent of Peace Made Firm (12/11/2022)

The Advent of Peace Made Firm (Revelation 19:11-16)

Jesus is coming again. And when he comes, the Peace we long for will be absolutely firm. Jesus is King. He is Judge. He is the Priest—who makes right. He is the only one worthy to bring the peace we long for. And the Peace we seek is rooted in His righteousness. Justice and peace are connected. (We know it in our hearts). There can be no peac, until there is justice and righteousness. When there is no peace, you can be sure—justice is absent. (This has become a slogan of the racial injustice protests in our country: “no justice, no peace.”) Not only is it true in our world, but it is true in our hearts. We long for justice. We yearn for true judgement. Jesus comes to make all things right. Who is seated on the throne in your life? There is only one who is worthy. There is only one who is qualified. Jesus is coming—and he comes to Judge—but the judgement he brings will bring you peace. Let Him rule - beginning today. 

Even so, come Lord Jesus come!
