Judges 21: 25In those days Israel
had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.
After the death of Moses and Joshua who finally led them into
the Promised Land, the new generation of Israelite forgot what God had done
for them and they had rejected godly leadership. Everyone did what they saw fit;
they made their own policies and did what they like.
Then God raised up judges who led the Israelite with the
same authority as kings. They had the power to make decisions and to set
directions for the people. When each judge died, the Israelite forgot about
God and drifted further and further from God.
Today God has send Jesus Christ who came as our Saviour and
also as our King. He is also our judge as the scriptures tell us that on that
day of judgement, Jesus will be the judge who will judge over all mankind.
Everyone will have to stand before Jesus and give an account of our lives to
Jesus. Whatever we do and whatever we said will be judged.
Knowing this then, we must live worthy of our calling and
remain faithful to Jesus so that we can secure our salvation. Each and every one
must repent of our sins and to set our lives right with Jesus.
Today as we see the world events unfold and as we witness the
numerous signs and events that are prophesied before the return of Jesus, let
us continue to remain obedient to Jesus and to live righteously for Him.
