Jesus Is In Your Corner (2)
Growing up, many of us had no clue what our parents did 40 hours a week. We might have known where they worked, but we werenât altogether sure what they did. In much the same way, most of us donât 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? Heâs 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. Letâs see if we can revive it. Pleading the blood is not some superstition. And itâs not an abracadabra; itâs an awareness of your authority in Christ. Itâs an understanding that your forgiveness has already been paid for in blood money. Itâs coming to terms with the fact that we overcome Satan by the blood of the lamb (Revelation 12:11). Christ is in your corner, which means you have the full backing of the King and His kingdom. His full blessingâHis full authority! Satan would like to make you doubt that. Remember what he said to Eve in the Garden of Eden: âHas God indeed said?â (Genesis 3:1). Translation? âGod is holding out on you!â If Satan can get you to distrust Godâs goodness, he wins, and you lose. Is it possible that because youâre holding out on God, you think God is holding out on you? Go all in with God! If you donât hold out on Him, He surely wonât hold out on you.
