Hosanna in the highest
Every year the prevail of our Messiah on the devil
and celebrating his superiority over the powers of darkness at easter and the need for a saviour become more relevant than before.This celebration gives us the power and hope to persevere in our journey as we face obstacles and resistance from the forces of darkness.As christians the battle is inevitable .From my own experience I can tell that no matter how peaceful of a person you are ,there will come times
where you must confront evil and evildoers because this is the major call for us as christians .We can not love the things that God hates and we are his hands and feet to make the changes necessary and correcting the wrong things.Even Jesus although one of his names is the prince of peace but he had to argue on daily basis with the religious leaders and confront their hypocrisy.He said that he had come to destroy the works of the devil because he wants the people to be free and liberated from any oppression through sickness,injustice,ect. He is the mighty warrior and the lord of hosts.Peace comes as a result of fighting the forces that makes conflicts.
We live in a world which is not so different than the world in the time of Jesus where the jews were oppressed by the romans and they were really in need for a political saviour and that is why they were overjoyed when Jesus entered Jerusalem and they celebrated him as the long awaited saviour.
Jesus will come as a political saviour in his second coming and save the jews when he appears suddenly with the heavenly hosts in the battle of armageddon which will last 1 day to save the jews and to defeat all the nations coming against them.
The mistake the jews made was mixing between his first coming as a spiritual and physical saviour
and his second coming as a mighty king.
Many signs today confirms the nearness of his second coming as we watch in the news how the stage is gradually set for this great event.
In every society is there a need for saviours who will confront evildoers,injustice,lack of human rights and such issues exist in all countries.
As we follow Jesus and know his power and his way of doing things ,he uses us then to save others from difficult situations when they can not escape them without our help.
Celebrating Jesus entry triumphantly and victoriously to Jerusalem and then his resurrection is not enough.He was just showing us the way to do it and that it is possible to be done Now we must also do our part and achieve by his power the results he requires.
