Like a steady and strong moving train the last part of the song "Reckless" repeats... ♪ There's no shadow You won't light up Mountain You won't climb up Coming after me There's no wall You won't kick down Lie You won't tear down Coming after me ♪ Jesus, being God, is Himself the light of the world. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were created through Him, and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created. Life was in Him, and that life was the light of men. That light shines in the darkness, yet the darkness did not overcome it." John 1:1-5 So wherever He goes, shadows must flee because He is there. These shadows are obviously not our own because if He were in front of us, our own bodies would cast a shadow. These shadows must be figurative, of someone or something else that stands between God and us. Jesus would light it up and it would flee. The mountain I think of when I sing this song is Calvary, which is the Latin word for scull and called Golgotha (the Aramaic word for scull) in three of four Gospels- Matthew 27:33, Mark 15:22 and John 19:7 "They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha." There are many "mountains" that we would want Jesus to climb for us but on Golgotha He conquered sin, death and shame. All of which I'm sure none of us want to live with. To receive God's forgiveness in Christ is one thing, understanding that our debt has been paid and that we will never stand guilty before an almighty and holy God but how many of us still carry around the shame that Jesus bore on the Cross. Will you put your burden down today? Will you receive the truth that there is mountain He won't climb up coming after you? In our study on Tuesday nights we are deBUNKing lies that keep us from STANDing In Confidence. The song says... "There's no lie You won't tear down coming after me." What lies are in the way of you seeing the relentless love of God? My prayer is that you would be honest with yourself, ask questions that you need answers to and that you would find them in the Lord Jesus Christ. All things in due time. My desire is NOT to rush you but to remind you that there are real answers in the Word of God if you want them and I (as well as your other leaders) are available to you should you want to ask them. Have a great day Loved Ones and may our great God bless you real good!
