His Kingdom Is Not Of This World
He could have called down an army of angels to destroy his enemies... but that wasn't the plan.
.
The plan was to save us all... and that meant... that He needed to die. The lamb of God, given as a ransom for our sins.
.
700 years before Christ was born... Isaiah prophesied every detail of Christ' death and sacrifice.
.
Isaiah 53: 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. 5 He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.
.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth.
.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment... He was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was He stricken.
.
That's Christ! and... One Day Soon His Kingdom Will Come... And Every knee Shall Bow... And His Will... WILL Be Done. That's gonna be a good day... a very good day!
