A Sinner Before The Judge?
Zech. 3:1-5; Heb. 9:27
In this passage of Zechariah, we find a sinner facing physical death, and as Hebrews 9:27 states, “…and after this the judgment.” The sinner has come to a place to which we will all come; he has kept his appointment with the Almighty. Here the sinner stands in the True Supreme Court of the universe, the court from which there is no appeal. This court is different from any other court the world has ever known, for there is no guarantee of an attorney, and there is no jury. There is no case and there is no debate. There is simply a judge, a prosecutor and a defendant. If you do qualify for a defense attorney, it must be the judge himself! From this passage God is the Judge. Joshua, the high Priest, is the defendant and Satan is the prosecutor. Satan is bringing his case against Joshua before God. Satan is standing at Joshua’s right hand opposing him. Satan will oppose anything you do except sin. The only time Satan is on your side is when you are against God. Satan has no mercy and he does not fight fair. He doesn’t play by the rules. There is a wonderful lesson to be learned here. God will never defend the sins of His children, but He will always defend His children!
Point of Emphasis: God will never defend the sins of His children, but He will always defend His children!
Prayer Point: O Lord my Father rescue me from all the accusations of the devil in the name of Jesus.
