BY THE WORD OF HIS POWER. All things are kept as they are by the might and power of His eternal WORD. Heb. 1:3 We have not yet exploited the Word of His Power. Power is found in the Word of a King. He is the King of all kings and His Word is supreme. <Where the word of a king is, there is power>. Ecc. 8:4 Every promise contained in the Word is yea and amen. He cannot deny His Word, therefore His promises will be fulfilled in the lives of those who trust and believe in His Word. The treasures of the Majestic King are innumerable and inexhaustable. He has opened the house of His treasures to those who are His. Pathetically we bring <clay pots>, earthen vessels, of the most humble and lowly kind. Expecting that the rich and royal treasures of the kingdom will be secure in them. The contrast is too great. Earthen vessels cannot contain the rich treasures of the heavenly, except, we recognize that it is the power of God that enables us to receive and retain His treasures. The weakest is contrasted with the strongest. What we have in Christ Jesus is not of ourselves nor of our strength but is maintained by His power. The power of the word. 2 Cor. 4:7 No flesh will be able to glory in the presence of the Lord. The excellency, the overwhelming measure, the supereminence of His power is manifest by the very fact that He can place His power in such weak vessels and still manifest the glory of that power. Any thing that we accomplish in the Gospel is not from our own efforts or ability but is from the manifestation of the power of His Word in vessels of clay. Jesus is the power of God.
THE MAJESTIC OFFERING OF THE MAJESTIC ONE. Jesus, because of the offering of one sacrifice, that is, Himself was exalted to the right hand of God, or the Majesty on high. By His sacrifice our sins were <purged>, granting full and absolute pardon. Heb. 1:3 In contradistinction to the Old Testament priesthood who must daily offer sacrifice, Jesus instituted the, once for all, sacrifice. Jesus offered himself, not only for the people but for himself as well. Heb. 7:27 Now, He is enthroned at the right hand of the Majesty in the heavens. Heb. 8:1 Jesus is exalted to a throne that is, far above, exceedingly over and higher than all, potentates, authorities and earthly powers. More importantly, He has been granted a NAME that is above all names that have ever been given or ever shall be. For time and eternity, the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is supreme. Eph. 1:20 Every knee shall bow at the name of Jesus and will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. That is the most Majestic name of time and eternity. There never has been nor will there ever be a greater name. Phil. 2: 9-11
IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD. The place of strength and joy where the splendor and majesty of the Lord are displayed. Here an invitation is extended to come to the Lord to ascribe the glory and splendor that is due to His name. To worship the Lord in the beauty of His holiness. This is His sanctuary and dwelling place. 1 Chr. 16: 27-29. When the voice of the Lord is heard it is a voice of power and of majesty. It is a voice of forgiveness and of great authority. Ps. 29:4 The Lord reigning on His glorious throne is clothed with Majesty. Ps. 93:1 When the Lord will ride forth in Majesty on behalf of truth, righteousness and humility He will display His power and victory. Ps. 45:4 The manifestation of His glory and majesty will be a time of great distress for the nations and the people of the world. This is the time when they seek to hide themselves in the holes of the rocks and the dens and caves, from the fear of the Lord and the glory of His majesty. It will be a time of exceeding great fear for the unsaved inhabitants of the earth. Isa. 2:19
