OUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS
|
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
|
“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end" (Isaiah 9:6-7).

Jesus died my death that I might live.
We know Christ is coming back because He belongs here. He is “the Man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). He was born here…ate here and grew here…breathed here and lived here…was tempted just as we are—but never sinned.
He was falsely accused here…tried and convicted here… beaten and reviled here…and He shed His blood here.
He rose again in a renewed and immortal body, yet which bore the marks of His death on the cross. The Son of Man is tied to this world of men, forever, incorruptible, the Resurrection and the Life!
Our greatest right is our claim on Jesus Christ: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” (John 3:16); “His indescribable gift” (2 Corinthians 9:15).
We own Him like God owns Him, earth as much as heaven. “Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given” (Isaiah 9:6). He put Himself under obligation to us by His incredible grace.
One of our God-given rights is to see Him here on earth. That is our inviolable privilege: “Every eye will see Him” (Revelation 1:7).

Christ Jesus prayed that all those who would believe in Him would be ONE, just as He and the Father are ONE; that they be brought to complete unity so that the world would know that He was sent by the Father. (John 17:20-23)
