Voila----"For the LORD is our judge, our lawgiver, and our king. He will care for us and save us." (Isaiah 33:22, NLT)
Yesterday I watched what was described as "pomp and circumstance." The dictionary describes, "pomp and circumstance," as, "a procession distinguished by ostentation" and "fuss." Millions of Americans, including millions of church-goers, were shouting what the masses were shouting at the trial of Jesus before Pilate, "We have no king but Caesar," with but one word changed in the text. I had but one thought. "....Yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live." Hats off to Rick Warren closing his prayer in the Name of Jesus!
Thrust into this whole madness is our text, describing Our Blessed Trinity as Perfect Government, i.e., Perfect Judicial, Legislative, Executive. It was not the intent of the Founding Fathers of America to replace the Word of God, Jesus Christ, as "our judge, our lawgiver, and our king." On the contrary, it was to reflect Him, to represent Him in every aspect of our culture, and, I might add, this is also the mission of the Church. We were commissioned to proclaim the Reign of God, the Government of God, the Rule of God, referred to in Scripture as "the Kingdom of God," and "the Kingdom of Heaven," and which our Lord Jesus fulfilled as, "at hand." Worshippers of democracy will never understand all of this.
In the days ahead, Believers in Jesus Christ will be challenged as never before as to whom we obey as our judge, our lawgiver, our king. Choose Jesus Christ; proclaim Jesus Christ; stay in the battle for the hearts and minds of men and nations, to the end that they all come under Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. Do this until Jesus returns------------- until there are no more elections -------------- until there are no more ostentatious displays.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I have no King but You. Amen.
