We must see Jesus as King, Bridegroom, and Judge. Too many times we see Him as one or the other, and not all three. Jesus not only King ruling the world with a fist of iron, with out Love or compassion, but He is also our Bridegroom loving us unconditionally. He is not just our Bridegroom loving us so much that He turns a blind eye to our sin, but He is also our Judge, and He is righteous, and just, therefore He cannot disregard the standard He has place on man for our good. And He is not just our Judge rulingarbitarily, but He is King, the King that has set up the boundries by which we must live.
We need to see Jesus as King, and not a king, but the King, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and ourselves as His kings. We are royalty, we are not beggers begging for God to be merciful to us. We are kings and priest before our God. Jesus has full authority over all the Earth, and things above the Earth and below the Earth, and we belong to Him. When we realize we are not worthless sinners saved by grace, but kings worthy of the blood of The King, then we will stop wallowing in the mud with pigs, and begin to fullfil our destiny as the ruling class of Heaven.
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 2:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
The revelation that will truly change your life if you are able to fully comprhend the ramifications of this truth, is the 'Bridal Paradigm''/ Jesus as Bridegroom. When we see Christ as our beloved Bridegroom, and we as His cherished Bride, perfect in His sight, we will undoubtedly rid ourselves of all sin, and rededicate our lives to loving, and serving our Groom. When we come to the realization of the undying, unending, unexplainable love Christ has for us, we will love Him and others like we did not know was possible.
Ephesians 3
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
The Bible says in in 2nd Corinthians 6:14 to not be unequally yoked. Do you think Jesus is returning of an unequally yoke Bride? No, and He is not sitting in Heaven waiting for you to get your act straight before He returns. If you are not equally yoked to Christ when He returns you will not be apart of His Bride.
''Glory, is accomplishing what God has put us here on Earth to do" What God has created us to do or become is an equally yoked Bride for Christ, and to be equally yoked with Christ we must become perfected, and sinless in every way.
Ephesians 5
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Jesus is returning for a perfected, equally yoked Bride. Will we make ourselves ready?
Revelation 19
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Lastly but certainly not least we need to see Jesus as Judge, The one and only all mighty, all righteous, truly just Judge. He will judge the world, us included. We need to remember we are redeemed without forgetting the severity of Christ's Judgments.
Romans 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
2nd Corinthians 5
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
