JESUS REPRESENTS THOSE WHO ASK

Christ, when the sinner is brought to the bar, appears there himself. There stands the man whose hands are pierced; he stands numbered with transgressors. Let the trial proceed. What is the accusation? He stands to answer it. He points to his side, his hands, his feet, and challenges justice to bring anything against the sinners whom he represents. –Spurgeon

Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; Romans 3:25

Does Christ represent you? If you’re a Child of God He does. He is making intercession for you when the accuser brings something up against you. Will He represent you the day you stand before God and give an account of your life? If you’re a Child of God He will. He will represent you because you asked Him to be your Saviour while amongst the living. Are you sure Christ is representing you? Are you sure you don’t want Christ, the Son of God, representing you on that day?

Let the Lord fight your battles!

Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Psalm 35:1

In the mist of turmoil the Psalmist is looking for peace. Those whom he once helped has now turned their backs on him, looking to destroy him. The Psalmist turns to the only One that can do anything about his circumstances- the Lord. 

Friend, you and I have those that would like to destroy us. The devil himself would love to see you to sit down and shut up from praising the Lord. Let the Lord fight your battles and you keep on praising Him as the Psalmist did! And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long. Psalm 35:28
