Today’s Thought “Highest Authority” G. Ward

 Isaiah 43:11-12

I, only I, am the Lord, and there is no savior besides Me. It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, and there was no strange god among you; So, you are My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “And I am God.

 

A savior is a deliverer; one esteemed by men through a valor significantly more than ordinary and whereas our Lord’s declaration insists all would know HIS surpassing Power as eternal – without looking to another, we stand amazed. Moreover, Christ as Savior provides in the similitude of the Father, granting a “best posture” for any who will follow and that position guarantees guidance in the weary land we’re exposed, while promising eternal life with HIM.

Some will view our theme as something that denies our Lord Jesus of His position given as our Advocate in glory, or even as contradictory of Him as Savior (Hebrews 1:3, 12:2; 1 Peter 3:22; Acts 7:55-56), but it affirms HIM as the Incarnate (i.e., God in the Flesh – *John 1:1-3, 14) and our newest spiritual view knows no other Conqueror…

That could mean that every social, civic and political interaction is weighed against this message of eternality (AND NO, THIS IS NOT VOTING YOUR OWN CONSCIENCE NONSENSE!).
