Truth is truth but not all truth changes the world. I got a speeding ticket years ago (and I mean years), but who really cares about that truth? At this time and point in my life, I don't even care. But then there is the truth about Jesus and His Lordship. He is Lord in both heaven and on earth. That's the truth that really matters. Jesus is Lord no matter if people believe Him or not. This Lord Jesus is called Savior because He died our death in a self-surrender that came from the heart of God's holy love. God raised Him from the death and declared Him Lord!
This Jesus who is Lord of all is God's Champion! For all of human race, He fought against all the spiritual forces of darkness and defeated them. The Lord Jesus bound demons, setting the people free from their spiritual prison and upon His resurrection, notice was served to Satan that he would not defeat God's holy Champion! This Lord Jesus was on a rescue mission and nothing in the unseen spiritual world could deny our God and His purpose in Jesus.
In the Lord Jesus Christ, God came looking for us. His purpose is not to harm us! That's why we read of the depth of the spiritual battles and harm done to Jesus. Jesus took the blows and battles head on, not us. The result was to help us. In all of this, how many continue on a path to harm themselves? They rebel against God by turning up their noses at the truth of His word. People seem set on being harmed by their stubborn and rebellious spirit yet in their own thinking, they believe God is out to harm them. It is so easy to exchange the truth of God for a lie and live a lie. Husbands and wives continue to destroy one another through hateful attitudes. God and His Lord wants to rescue us from that. That's the truth. Could it be that we have become so deeply involved in sin that this truth of God, to set us free is nothing more than a fairy tale in our lives? Remember...Jesus is Lord and that's a truth that will remain to eternity, whether we accept that or not in our personal lives. What a profound truth!
