Reading: Hebrews 10, Zechariah 13-14, and Psalm 80
Scripture: Hebrews 10:12-13, “But when Christ had offered
for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his
feet.”
Observation: I feel that is scripture does not have the
impact that today that it did beck when it was written. I know that throughout
my Christian life I don’t know how many times I heard this passage and just let
it pass it by. This passage has lots of implications. In today’s culture we
take sitting and putting our feet up almost for granted, many people have job
and work that can or need to be done seated. Jesus was not only our savory he
was a servant of the Father, as a servant you don’t get to sit until the job is
done until there is nothing left to do. Therefore Jesus’ job if done, he did
it, he became the payment for our sins.
Application: Now Jesus is waiting for his enemies to become
his footstool. We have to look at what is said here, “enemies should be made a
footstool for his feet.” That is not saying that he will come in and smash the
enemy, though he can, this is a command to us saying that we have a spiritual
battle ahead of each of us and we are to make his enemies his footstool. He sat
down he is relaxing and waiting for to do our part and step out. Once we have
stepped out and are walking in faith the Holy Spirit will give us the strength
to overcome the enemy and make each one of those demons a footstool.
Prayer: Lord, I thank you for the men that made it out last
night to the Men’s Christmas gathering last night, and all the great testimonies
of your great love and power that was shared. Lord I ask you help me to have
the spiritual strength and fortitude to overcome the enemy as he attacks and
help me to see the attacks and prepare for that battle before I’m in the mist
it.
