Jesus Christ is Lord!

Our Heritage

Heritage = noun. "inheritance, birthright, something transmitted by or acquired from a predecessor" <---I really like that one, because our "predecessor" is Jesus, our inheritance is from Him. So when God says...

"...No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the Heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me...."

...God is saying that We Inherit Jesus' Inheritance! Did people take up weapons against Jesus? Yes! Did tongues rise up in judgment against Jesus? Yes! The religious rulers judged Jesus "guilty as sin." Beside their weapons of lies and vicious words against him to destroy his reputation and credibility, they used fists, whips, hammers, and nails and crucified him to a cross. Jesus died. What was His inheritance? Read it one more time very closely. It is our inheritance, too:

"...No weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and this is their vindication from me,”
declares the Lord." (Isaiah 54:17 NIV).
