Strike them with terror, O LORD. Thy word is the sword that strikes and no weapon is greater. Psa 9:20, 119:72
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but the truth shall forever endure. Jesus is truth and every man is a liar who denies the truth of this word. Whatever the Father says is the way it goes. It was the scriptures which guided Jesus in his time on earth. He believed what was written, even enough to die for what he believed. He faced death trusting in the word of God. He knew that reality was only found in the scriptures. Therefore he was confident of the resurrection, for the scriptures said, "For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption" ( ESV Psa 16:10). Jesus ascended into the presence of God, made alive by the power of God in fulfillment of the promise which God had made to David, in that he would raise up the Messiah to be ruler over all. By his great faith Jesus set an example, established a lasting precedent, and brought us undeniable proof of the truth. We now know where truth is found. We have no excuse for not following in the footsteps of Jesus and trusting the word of God with all our heart. For only the Almighty could bring all the prophecies to pass!
The word tells us what was, what is, and what is to come. What it said about the coming Messiah has come to pass. What it says about the return of the Messiah must also come to pass. What it says about who the Messiah is now--mankind's representative seated at the right hand of God--is who he is. The sun would sooner not shine, than for the word of God fail to be fulfilled. When this realization dawns upon our soul, then we shall be transformed by the power of God and live as we were meant to live; as children of God in a dark and dying world, holding out the word of life to those who are in darkness.
