“Christ...entered...into heaven...to appear in the presence of God for us.” Heb 9:24 NKJV
JESUS IS IN YOUR CORNER (2)
Growing up, many of us had no clue what our parents did forty hours a week. We might have known where they worked, but we weren’t altogether sure what they did. In much the same way, most of us don’t really know what Jesus does all day. And our lack of holy confidence stems from that very fact. So what does Jesus do all day, every day? He’s pleading your case, pleading your cause. All you have to do is plead the blood. That phrase has fallen out of circulation in some circles. In part because of its misapplication. Let’s see if we can revive it. Pleading the blood is not some superstition. And it’s not an abracadabra; it’s an awareness of your authority in Christ. It’s an understanding that your forgiveness has already been paid for in blood money. It’s coming to terms with the fact that we overcome Satan by the blood of the lamb (See Rev 12:11). Christ is in your corner, which means you have the full backing of the King and His kingdom. His full blessing–His full authority! Satan would like to make you doubt that. Remember what he said to Eve in the Garden of Eden: “Has God indeed said...?” (Ge 3:1 NKJV). Translation? “God is holding out on you!” If Satan can get you to distrust God’s goodness, he wins, and you lose. Is it possible that because you’re holding out on God, you think God is holding out on you? Go all in with God! If you don’t hold out on Him, He surely won’t hold out on you.
