The darkness of this fallen world fades when we look to the hope [our confidence and trust] which comes from the throne room of God. Our hope [our confidence and trust] is in Christ alone. (Heb 4:16)

Jesus Christ, the risen Son of God, sits at the right hand of our Father. Jesus is our intercessor and defender. (Luke 22:69, Romans 8:34) 

We will not falter or fall when our world “drops out from under us” because Jesus has overcome, Jesus has defeated the world, worry and the enemy when he was resurrected on the third day. Jesus has overcome the world. (John 10:11, 16:33)

Do you have fears in your life.. fear of sickness, joblessness, loneliness, persecution or any other fear that tries to hold you down? Your answer is in the Cross. Jesus faced the cross and death, Jesus defeated both. The empty grave is the proof to your fears that Jesus is the risen king who defends and walks with you. (Isaiah 41:10, Heb 13:30, John 16:33, Rom 8:33)

Do you have enemies in your life… things of this world that try to distract you from Christ and your family? Jesus, the Risen King, who defeated death and the grave, is your defender. Jesus fights the battle for you. Jesus is for you … nothing can stand against you! (Deut 31:8, Rom 8:31,37, John 16:33

As the heavens and earth … God’s creation… raise their voices to praise declaring “Jesus, the risen Son, is the rightful King” You too can join this choir because Jesus overcame the cross, death and the enemy for you. 

Declare with a loud voice…. Jesus is the Lord who reigns FOREVER! (Matt 22:44, 1Peter 3:22)

For the risen one has overcome!

These are the thoughts I have had based on the worship song “Overcome” from Elevation Worship.
