05/09/2025 – Christ Overcomes Human Power
Scripture: Luke 32: 32 And He said to them, “Go, tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.’ 33 Nevertheless I must journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.
Reflection: Christ is coming in defiance of every false power who claims authority over you! The Lord begins to establish His kingdom by displacing the authority of human religion. During His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, His first stop was at the temple. He cleansed the temple with holy wrath and established true worship: Hosanna in the highest!
Christ also defied the authority of King Herod. Some pharisees wanted to scare the Lord by telling Him that Herod wanted to kill Him. He called Herod a fox and said to tell him that no one would stop the purpose of God through Him.
Christ has visited your heart with great force to claim for God the place where He alone must dwell, the place where you must love and worship Him! Christ has come for your heart! He has come to reign!
