See a Mighty Jesus

“In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew. One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!” The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.” (Isaiah‬ ‭6:1-4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Picture this majestic vision. The mortal king of Israel had just died, and the Lord Christ revealed Himself, seated on His throne of glory which was high and lifted up, and the train of His robes filled the whole temple. The longer the train, the more honorable the king is—it was a picture of the supreme ruler. The King of kings and Lord of lords!

No mortal king rules forever, so regardless of who rules in Israel, Christ is the ultimate king who is watching over the nation, protecting it from all her enemies.

We can benefit from seeing Jesus in His love and Grace, and also from seeing Him in His power and authority. However, the former is more important to be established in first because without having a sense of being loved by Him, you will be afraid of Him due to the latter.

Behold Jesus in His power. Can any enemy stand against a God like that? He is Yahweh of Armies, who commands the seraphim, the cherubim, the four living creatures, the chariots of fire, and all the heavenly armies. The natural elements of this world like the wind and waves obey His word, and nothing can resist His command.

When we magnify the Lord in our hearts, we won’t fear the enemies because the greatness of our God overshadows the problems we face in life.

What does the passage mean when it says that “the house was filled with smoke”? This smoke is the smoke from the altar of incense, which is a picture of the prayers being offered up by the nation of Israel. The people were crying out for God to help them, and that is why the temple was filled with smoke—the many prayers of the people.

“The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says. Won’t God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them? I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”” (Luke‬ ‭18:6-8‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

God is being patient, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance in Christ Jesus. There is a day of vengeance coming, which is the period of time called the Tribulation and the Day of Christ, and it will be horrible for the inhabitants of this earth who have not received Jesus Christ as Lord. We won’t be going through the Tribulation, but we will be returning to earth with Jesus on the Day of Christ (popularly known as the Second Coming).

Our Lord is not coming back as a meek Lamb, but as the mighty Lion of the tribe of Judah.

“I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself. He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called “The Word of God.” The armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white, pure, fine linen. Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND Lord OF LORDS.”” (Revelation‬ ‭19:11-16‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

We have to change the picture of the ascended Jesus we have in our minds. He is no longer the bleeding and suffering man of sorrows who was so injured that He fell from the weigh of the cross that He was carrying.

He is now high and lifted up, back on His throne of glory, with all the heavenly armies at His command. In fairy tales, there is often a handsome prince on a white horse that whisks the damsel in distress away to a happy ending where they ride away together into the sunset. Where did humans get this picture from?

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.” (Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3:11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

God has set eternity into the hearts of men. Jesus is the prince who will save Israel from her oppressors. When you think of Jesus today, see a mighty King who commands the heavenly armies to fight your battles for you. He does this because He loves you!

【沒甚麼事比主更重要】
電影 - 火戰車 《Chariots of Fire ,1981》描寫一位英國的青年，在運動上的天賦在田徑 - 短跑方面，表現驚人。

1924年在巴黎奧林匹克運動會，他被英國選為奧運國家代表隊的選手。當他知道這個消息後便加緊的練習，然而不管他平時練習的再怎麼累，或是時間再怎麼緊湊，星期日他一定會分別時間去教會聚會。

當奧運比賽的行程表公布後，發現參加的一百公尺短跑項目竟然也在星期天舉行；得知消息，心裡非常掙扎。因他知道星期日是屬於神的時間，沒有什麼是比這更重要的。

他是當時獲取金牌呼聲最高的選手，若是不去比賽，等於是將垂手可得的金牌拱手讓人。有許多人一直勸告他說，若是拿到金牌，不僅可以榮耀國家，更可以榮耀上帝，甚至當時的英國王子也來勸他參加比賽。但他心意已決，並告訴王子他絕不參加比賽。他是一位敬畏神的人，他相信神一定會與他同在。

他更換項目：改成另一項四百公尺的比賽，自認較適合衝刺型的短跑比賽的他，是個艱難的挑戰，但他仍為此苦練。出人意料地，最後決賽中，他以47秒6獲得金牌。也在二百公尺比賽中拿到銅牌！

後來他分享自己得勝的秘訣是：前兩百公尺他以最快的速度以及最大的力氣來跑，後面的兩百公尺，則就完全的交給神，希奇地是反而跑得更快。

當他的體育生涯如日中天，獲得崇高榮譽之後，他毅然放棄英國的優裕生活，回到天津來辦學。至終他將自己交給神，成為一名宣教士 。

「我相信神造我必有目的，祂讓我跑得快，我跑步時，可以感受到祂的喜悅！」- 《火戰車》
I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure. - Chariots of Fire

後天是主日，有甚麼比主日更重要的事呢？
