Good morning everyone and welcome back to another mornings with the masters where we devote

ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning you guys. Good morning indeed we're picking

up with a 19 of our 21 days of discipleship devotional in the Bible app. There's a link to that

in the description if you guys want to follow along with us and the scriptures all up in this one

situation you can take over here. Perfect let's do it. Today's devotional is titled King Jesus

and it says this. We've definitely seen throughout Jesus's life that his way of doing things is

completely upside down and backwards compared to the world's way. So in the ultimate paradox

today we read about Jesus's crucifixion which was actually his crowning moment. Paul one of Jesus

followers explains it like this in Philippians 2 7 through 11. When he appeared in human form he

humbled himself an obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross. Therefore God elevated

him to a place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names that at the name of Jesus

every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue declared that

Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. By his death Jesus defeated everything that

kept us from declaring him our rightful King. One of our pastors explained what Jesus meant when he

said it is finished. She writes not only were all the prophecies about the Messiah finished and done

but the work was finished death was finished sin was finished old religion was finished shame was

finished the punishment was finished the enemy was finished wow so good now we as Jesus followers

get to live with an it is finished mentality how do we live in light of the enemies defeat

and Jesus being king well there's a lot of power in remembering that what Jesus has done for us

cannot be undone that's what finished really means don't buy into the lie that says your

mistakes can somehow undo God's grace it's not possible there's nothing you can do to overturn

the decision made by the Father to accept the death of Jesus on your behalf nothing he's not
