Can I Talk About My Jesus

"Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen" Jude 24-25

Hallelujah! If Jude's words don't make you want to give a shout of praise you may need to check your body for a pulse. Not only can Jesus keep us from falling (no small feat if you are like me). He can present us faultless before Himself. Wrap your mind around this, if you can. Jesus, who died for our sins, who therefore knows how wicked and vile we were, is still able to look upon us and find no fault! What a mighty God we serve! Think about it. You love your parents, your spouse, your children but are you able to look upon them and not see fault? This goes way beyond forgiveness. You can forgive and still see fault. To look upon someone knowing that you were executed not for anything you did, but for what the person standing before you did and find no fault. Praise Him! Jude then lets us in on something even more remarkable! Jesus not only keeps us from falling and sees us as blameless before Himself, He does it with exceeding joy. Can you imagine not only seeing the person you died for as faultless, but rejoicing in the fact that they are standing before you in your glory? Amazing! When was the last time you gave God a sho nuff praise? Not one prompted by the pastor or the choir sing your favorite song, but a praise motivated just by the thought of Jesus: His goodness, His sacrifice and His great love. "For the Son of man is come to save that which is lost." Matthew 18:11
