Jesus holds the title deed to planet earth. We see it in the seven seals that are broken from the scroll in the Revelation. Even though the enemy would have us believe that he is the authority here, it is just another lie. And we are ambassadors of that authority. That kind of total authority in human history has been devastating from the Khans to the Caesars to the Czars to Hitler.
Life becomes cheap and values are crushed and twisted.
Jesus authority is extended for us, not against us. If we are willing to accept that authority, it becomes are hiding place or a safe haven. We have the commission to take this good news to anyone who will hear us. Some of us are called to far away lands at the risk of our lives. Most of us are called to our offices and homes, schools and neighborhoods to be witnesses of the freedom that is available freely to anyone who will ask.
