The Beggar's Friend

A court was held and the books were opened.
Dn.7:10

Daniel's vision of end times presents a courtroom. Jesus steps into the room and "the books" are opened.

My book is going to be opened. All, yes all, will be revealed. This is where I cling to the promise of Jesus to Nicodemus. "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." Jn.3:17 I'm counting on Jesus being my merciful advocate, like Moses was for Miriam. 

As Saint Paul states, "What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means!" Rms.6:1,2. I have died to sin, so how can I live in it any longer? Yes, mercy and grace are mine in Jesus, but so is a new life. I would be the greatest of fools to turn my back on becoming a new man, born again.

So, let the books be opened, let my beggared life be exposed and let my reliance on the beggar's friend be my hope. Meanwhile, I live as a new man born again full of the hope, peace and joy that only Jesus the beggar's friend can give.

Jesus, I place my trust in you.
