In these days of Covid and political and social unrest in America, it can be hard to stay connected to Jesus of Nazareth, and The Lord God. I have been transported to the third creation. I have seen my mansion and walked in the rooms and sat by the hearth. But I found myself afraid I would not make it back there, because of things happening to me today and my reaction to them. But then I was reminded. The only reason any of that in the third creation was open to me, was because Jesus chose me and redeemed me by his blood sacrifice. It never had anything to do with me. It is all Jesus. And Jesus is the same yesterday, and today, and forever. My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Blood and His righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest refrain but wholly lean on Jesus Name. On Christ the Solid Rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand. A great peace drenched me when I was shown again “it isn’t about me”. It is about Jesus. And he is able to keep that which I committed to HIM against that day of white throne judgment we all will face. It is Jesus who chose me. Jesus who sent the invitation to come into LIFE. Jesus who commanded the One Called Holy to take my filthy rags from me and clothe me in White Linnen. Because of Jesus I am going home.
