Isaiah 57-59; Psalm 103; 2 Peter 3

 
The hero of all heroes….

I never read comics as a kid but if I did I’m sure none of the super heroes in them could have compared to Jesus. For example look at the imagery we see here.

He put on righteousness as his breastplate,
and the helmet of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments of vengeance
and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.

According to what they have done,
so will he repay
wrath to his enemies
and retribution to his foes;
he will repay the islands their due.

From the west, men will fear the name of the LORD,
and from the rising of the sun, they will revere his glory…” (Isaiah 59:17-19)

It is like the best action hero movie Hollywood could ever plan to make. Jesus has already done so much for us and He will continue to stand in the gap for us right up until the day He comes back. I love what the end of Isaiah says, “…this is my covenant with them," says the LORD. "My Spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of their descendants from this time on and forever," says the LORD. (Isaiah 59:21) While Jesus has come to us to be our Redeemer, He has also given us a great gift for daily living. The Spirit of God has come to be our Sanctifier: thus the Comforter shall abide with the church for ever, “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever” (John 14:16.) Remember the cause of the Redeemer shall gain complete victory on earth, and the believer will be more than conqueror when the Lord receives him to His glory in heaven.
