SUPREMACY OF CHRIST’S RIGHTEOUSNESS
“Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart…”
Isaiah 38:3
“Who ( Jesus )… offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears… and was heard…”
Hebrews 5:7
Hezekiah prayed with tears, and God heard him.
Jesus prayed with tears, and the Father heard Him.
But there is a glorious contrast between Christ’s prayer and His Righteousness and that of Hezekiah’s.
1.Hezekiah pleaded for his own life to be spared.
But, Jesus surrendered His life so that our lives could be spared.
(“Nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”
Luke 22:42
And:
“If you seek Me, let these go their way.”
John 18:8)
2)Hezekiah was delivered from death.
Christ entered into death and conquered it.
3)Hezekiah’s tears brought him fifteen more years.
Christ’s tears brought us eternal redemption.
Hezekiah appealed to his own righteousness.
Christ offered His perfect righteousness in the place of the unrighteous.
Therefore, we don’t approach God saying, “Remember how well I have lived.”
Rather, we say:
“Father, remember how perfectly Christ lived, how completely He gave Himself, and how perfectly His sacrifice speaks for me.”
Our righteousness is infinitely better *because our righteousness is Christ’s own*!
Prayer
Daddy God, thank You for Jesus, who gave His life so that mine could be spared. His tears, obedience, sacrifice, death and resurrection speak for me. I rest completely in Christ’s perfect righteousness. In Jesus name Amen.
Proclamation
Christ’s tears speak for me!
Christ’s obedience speaks for me!
Christ’s righteousness speaks for me!
His resurrection is my victory!
I am eternally redeemed and justified!
I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and I am lifted to reign!
Praise the Risen Jesus
