From the Bible
Isaiah 49:22
This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“See, I will beckon to the nations,
I will lift up my banner to the peoples;
they will bring your sons in their arms
and carry your daughters on their hips.
Jesus!
Jesus Christ is the Son of GodJesus Christ is the Son of God. Unto Him is given all power in Heaven and on the earth. Jesus is the King, King of all kings. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of Virgin Mary. He was crucified, died and was buried. On the third day he rose again from the death. He ascended to Heaven and is now sitting at the right hand of God, the Father. On a day, unknown to man, he shall return to judge living and dead.
The Bible says, whoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life (Jn 3:16). They shall for all future live with Him.
Jesus won the victory over my sin and yours, and over death. Therefore, repentance and forgiveness for sins shall be proclaimed unto all nations of earth. The gospel (the good news about the victory of Jesus) shall be proclaimed. Each and everyone can now become disciples of Jesus and receive The Holy Spirit as a gift. Jesus says: “I am with you always to the very end of age” (Mt 28:18-20; Mk 16:15; Lk 24:47).
Bow down for Jesus!
The Bible says no other name is given unto men by which they can be saved, than Jesus Christ. All men shall bow before Him and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Acts 4:12; Phil 2:9 f.). When He is lifted up for us, He will draw all men to Himself (John 12:32). Through His death and resurrection gathers all peoples. Jesus Christ gives life and hope to everyone (Isa 11:10; Jn 12:32-33; Rom 15:12; 1 Cor 15:57). As He is extolled I Heaven, we ought also to uplift Him on earth, worship Him and make Him to our Lord (Mt 28:17).
Bow down for Jesus!
Right now.
Prayer:
Jesus, You know me and my life. I bow before You, my Lord and God.
Jesus, I confess my sin and receive the forgiveness that You achieved on the cross through Your blood.
Jesus, I want to give my life to You now, and for all eternity.
Lord, I now want to confess my Christian faith and follow You as an obedient and faithful disciple.
HEAVENLY FATHER, I believe that You have created me. Thank You, that You love me as Your Own child.
LORD JESUS, Son of God. I believe that You have saved me. Thank You, that You died and rose again for me.
HOLY SPIRIT, thank You for giving me life together with my Father and His Son, Jesus. Thank You for helping me to follow Jesus.
Holy Spirit, please lead me to a life in fellowship with my brothers and sisters. AMEN.
Jesus is the banner
of God
Jesus presents Himself as the fulfillment of the Banner of God. He is the One uplifted as the serpent in the desert. Moses lifted up the serpent as a Banner for the people. Whoever looks unto it, his life shall be saved (Num 21:9; Jn 3:14-15).
So even the prophesy of Isaiah is fulfilled. The Root of Jesse will stand as a Banner for peoples (Isa 11:10). As God asked Moses to lift up the bronze serpent, God calls us to lift up Jesus before the world as God’s Banner. “The Lord is my Banner”. The Banner of God bears witness of the victory of the Lord (Ex 17:15).
Whenever Banners are lifted up high, God gathers His people. He raises us up as one people, who fulfill His works. From among all nations God calls out an revives His people (Isa 11:12; 13,2-3; 31:9; 49:22; Jer 4:6; 50:2-3; Joel 2:15-16; 3:1).
