Devotion 4/17, In Christ Alone
Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
1 Corinthians 15:24
Even though Jesus won the victory over death and sin while on the cross and with the empty tomb (Colossians 2:12-15), we’re still waiting to get swept up into his victory march. That day is coming. Every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess Jesus’ power, glory, and reign (Philippians 2:10-11). Every evil power will face destruction. However, the hearts that are yielded to God will be placed into his loving and mighty hands forever and share in his glory (Colossians 3:3-4). Our Lord reigns!
Almighty God, Father of grace and mercy, I appreciate your tenderness and patience with me. However, Father, I am also comforted to know your power and might will exert itself fully upon the earth and against the powers of satan. I am heartened to know that Jesus will assert his rule and destroy everything false, malicious, evil, and wicked. I pray that day, and our Lord Jesus Christ, arrive in Your time according to Your plan. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
