The Government Upon His Shoulders Series

Because he is Christ incarnate, He is the Christ who is the source of all truth.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life." John 14:6.

No politician on earth can match those words.

Therefore, we can be set free from the confusion around us by trusting His loving and caring rule for our lives.

Even if we hear a lot of negative news being perpetuated by the media, we had to go to Christ for the truth and wise counsel.

Many of our politicians are confused and disoriented from the faith of our forefathers that has founded our nation.

And so, they turn everywhere else seeking for counsel.

They go to one another, they go to special interests.

They have their own psychologists, psychiatrist, astrologers, gurus, and other human counselors.

I remember the time when Cory Aquino was newly elected as the President of the Philippines, she was asked by one reporter

"How will you govern the Philippines when you have no experience at all in government? You are just a housewife."

She answered, "I will ask counsel from 50 of our wisest people."

I tell you, seeking counsel from 50 people will be so confusing indeed.

But the King of Kings keeps his own counsel.

Isaiah 40:13 "Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord?"

Isaiah 40:13 (NIV)

13 Who can fathom the Spirit[a] of the Lord,

or instruct the Lord as his counselor?

When Christ rules on this earth, there will be no uncertainty and no political confusion.

He will establish it with judgment, with justice from henceforth and forever. vs. 7

2. There will be no DISCORD or CHAOS because "He is the Mighty God"

Since Christ is the creator of the universe, he has brought order out of chaos.

1 Cor. 14:33 "God is not a God of confusion."

Discord is not found in His personality because he is the God of order.

He brings order and peace to any troubled heart that is fully surrendered to Him.

He not only tells His subjects what to do but He also energizes and empowers them to do it with passion.

And this is what He will do someday when the government is upon His shoulders.

You see, our earthly government can only go so far with wise ruling and legislation but unless they are fully implemented among the people, they are useless.

And because of the sinful nature of man, filled with selfishness, hatred and anger, implementation of laws in the society will always be difficult and almost impossible.

There will always be people who are hard headed, who will want to break the law and bring chaos to the government.

Even authorities who are supposed to carry out the law are the ones who sometimes break the law because no human government can make their people obey the laws from their hearts.

When a person's heart is in great chaos due to the effects of sin, so will society be.

And unless that sin is dealt with, there will be no end to the misery.

Therefore, every human government has great limitations in carrying out the law to the fullest.

But the government that will be established under Christ's rule will be much different.

He will display his divine power by bringing order to the chaotic and lawless world.
