Jesus, the King

Our reading today gives us a powerful reminder that there is a great spiritual battle going on.  We are all experiencing the war between sin and satan.  The good news of Revelation  11 and 12 is that we will win the battle.  We will triumph because God has made our salvation secure in Christ.  

Today we celebrate the birth of our Savior and relish in the fact that He made our salvation secure by coming to this earth and denying himself over and over for us.  

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.

Revelation 12:11

All of the craziness in the world can tempt us to despair.  But God’s Word assures us we will prevail.  We will triumph by the blood of the Lamb.  

In Jesus we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavishes on us.

Ephesians 1:7-8

This battle between sin and satan will continue till the end of time.  So we are called to be victorious by our testimony.  Through our words and lives we must consistently declare the truth that Jesus is Lord.  What a better time to declare this!  Today, the day we celebrate the birth of our Lord.

Merry Christmas Blessings to all as we celebrate the birth of our King.
