majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Psalm 143:2,
"Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is
righteous before you."
David cries out to the Lord to not bring him into judgment. David, as
all mankind, is guilty of sin and faces the consequences of that sin
in the Lord's judgment. The writer of Hebrews speaks of the
inevitability of judgment for all individuals. "Just as man is
destined to die once, and after that to face judgment... " Hebrews
9:27. We all face judgment. The horrific nature of that judgment is
spelled out in Revelation 21:8, "But the cowardly, the unbelieving,
the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice
magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the
fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." Paul tells us
in Romans 3 that all have sinned and in Romans 6 we read that the
wages of sin is death. A horrible state of affairs!
But when Jesus Christ came to planet earth, he told us, "I am the way
and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
me." Jesus Christ has become a way for us to avoid the judgment of the
Lord for the sins we have all committed! Jesus Christ is the only way!
The answer to David's prayer to not be brought into judgment is found
in Jesus Christ. When we place our faith in Jesus Christ we pass from
death to life! "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and
believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned;
he has crossed over from death to life." Jesus speaking in John 5:24.
How wonderful our Savior has come and made a way for us!
