At the end of the trial, Jesus the Man is glorified with Christ

(…continues from part three…)

IV)         After the end of trial, you are the giant of sweet success. You have become an establishment. An institution, that is what you are after the trials. You will take one look at the enemy and, knowing what that look is, they cannot wait to find the outcome of a defiance. At the end of the trials, you are at the top of it all. You are loved, respected, and the phenomenon. Using our Perfect Example this is the perfect picture of those who have overcome the world and the after-effect of trials. Matthew 28:3-4 3) “His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4) And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.” The men here mentioned were the soldiers stationed at the tomb of Jesus’ burial. This is the reason why they did that. Matthew 27:64 “Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.”

Matthew 28:18

Let us take a look at what happened after the trials of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Matthew 28:18 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” It does not say “Some power” or “most of power,” it is “All available power in heaven and on earth.” This is what Jesus Christ was before coming to the world à la incarnation. After trials duly get us, technically, restored to pre-sinful Adamic days. The Lord Jesus transferred His power to us before His ascension. Mark 16:17-18 17) “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18) They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” After the trials, the storm is over. We are expected to be unwavering in our faith walk.

The Bible is explicit in 1Corinthians 15:54-58 54) “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55) O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56) The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57) But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58) Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” These things have become realities in our lives as God’s sworn children for the irreversible victory purchased for us by the Lord of glory: “But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom” (Hebrews 1:8).

After the trials of Jesus: “All power is given to Me.”

The ambulation of the Lord Jesus on earth was to face the Adamic trials for the work of His Divine hands. While here He made a statement of profundity when the great Sanhedrin teacher, Nicodemus sat to receive theological lectures from the incarnation of the Christ. Could the already flabbergasted Nicodemus fathom John 3:13 “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven”? Of Hebrews 1:8 truth, the One that came down, Who at that material moment was incredibly also in heaven, eventually, after His trials, did ascend to the Rainbow Administration of the celestial Kingdom, sat at His eternal rightful place, holding His sceptre of righteousness, and sitting in Majesty, God forever on the throne.

Getting born again is a conscious effort on the part of an individual. Get born again. Say this sinner’s prayer.

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
