Represented...

REPRESENTED…Where is Christ standing? Simple question. But it has deep implications. Some view Christ as in heaven and they must make a distant appeal to Him for help. Others view Christ as only involved in important things and they must interrupt Him with their problems. Still others view Christ as a friend of the Holy, and beings they can see imperfections in themselves that somewhat excludes them. Where is Christ standing in your life? Here’s an interesting verse…
“Lord, you are my lawyer! Plead my case!” ~Lamentations 3:58
If you’ll look around the courtroom of your life, you’ll see something interesting. Christ is standing at the table WITH YOU! You are already represented in your struggle for justice and freedom! You don’t need to jockey to get good representation for the issues pressing against you…you already have it! Christ went on retainer for you before you were born. Getting Him to take up your case has never been your problem. Trusting His way of handling your case… probably has been your problem. But navigating the issues of life and eternity is way out of your league. We all need someone to stand up for us and plead our case, don’t we! There are so many voices trying to advantage themselves at our expense. Some voices are external in the form of selfish people. Other voices are internal in the form of self-destructive instincts. Whatever the angle, we all need someone to step into our lives and PLEAD OUR CASE! So I ask again, where is Christ standing in your life? He’s standing right next to you…facing your accuser with you! You don’t have to scramble to get His attention…you got it! You don’t have to clean up your life first…that’s why He’s there! You don’t have to petition heaven to send Him…He’s already at the table with you petitioning heaven on your behalf! Get it straight…Christ is your lawyer…He is already pleading your case…Let Him fight for you…You are already represented!
