Be Faithful and Fearless!

Can there be any doubt that the Psalmist was referring to Jesus. The disciples were ‘astonished’ (Mark 10:32) at the fearless, bold approach Jesus made on the way to Jerusalem as He walked straight into the face of death. He had even told them exactly what would happen to Him yet still did not flinch in ‘leading the way’ to the city!

In Leviticus 26:1-39, the Lord promises peace and blessing to the Israelites for obedience, but certain destruction if they rebelled. Christ’s intense love for righteousness and hatred of wickedness gives Him a fearless boldness against sin (Psalm 45:7)

The ultimate act of Jesus’ hatred of sin will be in His return to earth. He will ‘ride forth victoriously on behalf of truth, humility and righteousness’ (Psalm 45:4) His sharp arrows will pierce the hearts of the kings enemies, and the nations will fall beneath His feet. At his side will be the Church, His bride who loves Him and also loves righteousness. Be Faithful and fearless, Bride. Your Majesty One is coming with His sword, and you will be at His side!
