The Reign of Christ

 

We have not experienced the last chapter of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. A careful reading of the Book of Revelation exposes that, in the last days, the reign of Christ will bear fruit on this earth.

The Apostle Paul describes those coming days using these words found in 1 Corinthians 15:25-26:

For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

As believers recognize, Jesus has been victorious over sin, death, and Satan. But, I wonder if we fully comprehend that death is also an enemy of the Kingdom of God. Death results from sin. When sin is conquered by our Savior, death is also conquered. The conquering of death opens the way to eternal life.

At the beginning of another day, we need to pause to understand that our life with Christ begins the moment we acknowledge God’s gift to us of salvation. But, our life with Christ becomes fully realized in those last days when He is on His throne and reigns over all the earth. Then, and only then, will we see the miracle of His love and grace fully at work in our world.
