SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 12-23-02
My
Worship Time Focus: Future world not controlled by angels
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: Hebrews 2:5
1.
Message of the verse: Ҧ For He has not put the world to
come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.” (NKJV)
“And furthermore, the future world we are talking about will not be
controlled by angels.”
There is some
disagreement about this section that I am moving into in this chapter which
goes from verse five to verse eighteen.
John Macarthur titles this section “The Son Made Lower than Angels,”
while Warren Wiersbe titles this section “Explanation: why Jesus Christ is not inferior because of
His humanity.” After reading the first
part of Warren Wiersbe’s book on this section I must say that I agree with him
that even though Jesus Christ was in the flesh He was superior to angels. As far as verse five goes the “world to come”
must be speaking not only of the Millennial kingdom that Christ will rule over,
but also in eternity too.
2. Spiritual Meaning for my life today: Even thought this world that I live in today
is subject to angels, including the evil angels which are controlled by Satan,
the Lord Jesus is on His throne and He is the One who is in full control of
this world, all things must filter through His hands before they are done. Because of this truth I can have confidence
that, as the Scripture says in Romans 8:28, “God causes all things to work
together for good for those who love Him to those who are called according to
His purpose.
The Word of God was refreshing to me today.
My Steps
of Faith Today: I trust the Lord to
work IBS together for good in my life today.
Memory verse for the week:
1 Peter 4:10
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve
others…
