HIS GOVERNMENT

Isaiah 9:7 (9:6 LXX)

Great shall be His government, and of His peace there is no end. His peace shall be upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order and establish it with righteousness and judgment, from that time forward and unto ages of ages. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.

Personal Challenge

Today, as we celebrate Pascha (Easter), we must remember that we are not citizens of this world but citizens of heaven. This is true for all followers of Christ. Jesus Christ is the head of that heavenly Kingdom and welcomes His followers into it. We go through our lives knowing this truth and appreciating that He has placed us in various and different earthly kingdoms and countries to be His representatives, His ambassadors. We can participate where we are placed for His glory and strive to make our earthly kingdoms More righteous and godly by living His way, which is loving Him and loving our neighbor. Glory be to God! Christ is risen! Indeed He is risen!
