It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Psalms 110:1 NKJV

The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”

~~———————~~

Part of this prophecy has already been fulfilled. Christ is now sitting at the right hand of God; but He has not yet come to put His enemies under His feet.

They who once rejected Him, O with what dismay shall they behold the Son of God when He appears in His glory!

“See, He is coming in the clouds and every eye shall see Him, even those who pierced Him, and his coming will mean bitter sorrow to every tribe upon the earth. So let it be!” (Revelation 1:7)

Bitter sorrow to everyone who rejected Him!

It was not only the Jews who said, “We do not want this man to reign over us;” it was not only the Romans who pierced Him with a spear; there are many in Christian lands who have crucified Him all over again and have trampled Him underfoot. (Hebrews 6:6; 10:29)

All who do not love Him are His enemies, and shall be put under His feet.

It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

How terrifying it must be to be trampled under His feet! Yet those who have despised the Son of God shall, if they do not repent, themselves be trampled underfoot; for He has declared, “I will tread them in My anger, and trample them in My fury.” (Isaiah 63:3)

On that great day, while He puts His enemies under His feet, He will save His people and exalt them to His own throne; for He has said, “To him who overcomes will I grant to sit with Me on My throne.” (Revelation 3:21)

What are we doing about Christ?

Note: Read the full story of the healing of the man born blind in John 9 . ——————— Jesus asked the man born blind whom He had healed, “Do you believe on the Son of God?” The poor man answered, “Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him?” Ignorance was the only thing that kept this man from believing. The Lord immediately took it away by saying, “You have both seen Him, and it is He who talks with you.” Then the man said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped Him. We are not in his state of ignorance. None of us can say, “Who is the Son of God, that we might believe on Him?” We heard since childhood that JESUS was the Son of God. Though we have not seen Him, and though He has not talked with us, yet we know that He died for us, and that He is always living to plead on our behalf, if we come to God in His name. The poor man did not know so much as this, when he said, “Lord, I believe.” Yet how hard-hearted and ungrateful we should deem him, if he had not believed in the One who had done...

God always lived

Jesus said, ‘In very truth I tell you, before Abraham was born, I am.’ ( John 8:58 NEB'70 ) ——————— The expression “I am,” gives the idea of an existence which had no beginning, and will have no end. Such is God's existence. He is the first and the last. He always lived. We, in our finite minds, can never grasp this. However, we can rejoice in the thought that before we were even born God already existed. Among other things, this would mean that no plans could be formed against us, before He had arranged everything concerning us! “Known to God are all His works since the beginning of the world.” ( Acts 15:18 )

Are you prepared to meet the Lord?

Are you living your life today in a way you would wish you had lived, if tomorrow you were to find yourself dying? Is there any sin you are practicing, which you should immediately forsake if you knew this day was your last? Where is the man who can sincerely say that this day may not be his last? With some people this day is the last day; with many more this week is the last week; with thousands this is the last month; with millions the last year. Are you prepared to meet the Lord? If not, why don't you prepare immediately? There is a fountain opened to cleanse all sin, in which everyone may immediately wash. Yet how many have never washed in it! If Christ were to come now, He would find them still in their sins. Do not say, “He will not come yet.” Remember, it is very dangerous to even think, “My master won't be back for a while.” (See Luke 12:45-46 .)
