Born a Warrior with a Kingdom to Defend

As we celebrate Veteran’s Day and remember and honor people who have served in the United States Armed Forces, our hearts also turn to honor Christ who was born with a kingdom to defend.  That babe was born with an angelic army at His beacon call. That babe was born a “Warrior” King as Isaiah 42:13 foretold,

The Lord will go forth like a WARRIOR, He will arouse His zeal like a man of war. He will utter a shout, yes, He will raise a war cry. He will prevail against His enemies.

The babe who grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men (Luke 2:52) defeated the devil and death.  Christ will one day return to earth as Warrior King that He is. With whom will we share this important news this week?

Lord, we praise You, WARRIOR King from on high.
