The New Look

Isaiah 62:3 You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
&
Luke 21:27-28 “At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your
redemption is drawing near.”
 
“STAND and lift up your heads,” says he Lord Jesus Christ. He is Messiah to come in power on David’s royal throne. The world will know your King, his city and his church. Saved in Jesus’ blood, you will wear your relationship with Jesus Christ as a royal diadem. His holiness over you will declare to the world, “I belong to the LORD God.” No one will oppose or accuse your new look as righteous before God.
   Praise God sin’s shame is gone. When the Son of Man returns, you will lift up your head to his glory. With unblemished faith, your face, thoughts and righteousness will remain lifted up eternally. You have ascended to God’s holy throne. You will be seen as God’s own forever. Revelation 22:4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
   Be assured of your crown. Saved in Christ Jesus, he has marked you as his own. His crown of thorns forms a crown of glory on your soul. You reign with him because he has acted to raise you up and anoint you as his own. This is God’s amazing grace. He lifts you up from death’s empty, void darkness into life’s glorious light. Praise the Lord.
 
Prayer: I am yours, Jesus, saved in your gracious blood, cleansed with your power to forgive and resurrect. Thank you for the crown of life. Amen.
