"Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed One...The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath saying, 'I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill.'"
Psalm 2: 1,2, 4-6
The American Civil Liberties Union likes to go around looking for items of offense (in their opinion), like a portrait of Jesus that hung in one of the buildings of the Jackson, Ohio school district. It had graced their Hall of Honor since 1947, along with other visages of historical importance. The ACLU saw it differently. Their lawsuit against the school district claims, "students and visitors to the school will continue to suffer permanent, severe and irreparable harm and injury" from seeing this portrait.
Gee, Jesus is powerful, isn't he? One look at his portrait can cause severe harm and injury? Really? When I see his portrait, I see the only begotten Son of God who gave his life for mine. Jesus has been given "all authority in heaven and on earth." (Matthew 28:18) Vengeance is his and he will have it. It may seem like the Lord is being slow or silent, but he does not want anyone to perish but to come to salvation in Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 10:31 says, "It's a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." I would not want to be a member of the ACLU when Jesus comes again.
