“A KINGDOM PASSWORD PART 2”, BY T. H. CAYNE

“A KINGDOM PASSWORD PART 2”, BY T. H. CAYNE

“Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a
slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled
himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.”
–Philippians 2:7-8 (NLT)
Picture yourself surfing the Internet, and looking at all the beautiful people
on it. They’re wearing all the latest styles, and getting out of
chauffeur-driven limos.
Glassy-eyed, you permit yourself to wonder what it’s like to be rich. You think,
“If I only had their money, all my bills would be a thing of the past.”
But then you look closer, and you see something curious. You didn’t notice it at
first, but all these people you admire have chains growing from them. Your mouth
falls open, because some of them are bound by more than one chain.
Your next discovery is barely noticeable, and hidden behind a veil of posh
pretense. But if you look just right, you can tell that each group of chains has
a tag attached to it. Your computer screen looks fuzzy, though, and you can
hardly read them. So you make the picture larger in order to see what they say.
Words like “anxiety”, “fear” and “worry” pop out at you.
“What a strange sight!” you muse. “What does all this mean?”
Before we answer that, let’s shift topics and talk about Moses who, at one time,
had all of the riches of Egypt at his disposal. Like the beautiful people of
today, he would have been driven around by chauffeurs, had the finest servants
at his beck and call, and an education that was second to none.
But we see in his story that Moses also wore a chain. It was a chain of pride,
and we need to examine it, as all of us can fall to this deadly serpent.
Remember that Moses had been brought into Pharaoh’s courts by adoption. The
servants that were in his house would have probably been fellow Israelites.
As you know, when one of those servants was being mistreated, Moses tried to
take a civil rights matter into his own hands by murdering the cruel Egyptian.
But the point is not only what he did, but what he didn’t do.
Moses often did what we tend to do. Like the beautiful people in the opening
paragraphs, he confused what he had with who he was. Also, being raised in
Egypt, he would have been exposed to their many gods. I’m sure that when his
birth mother nursed him, however, she told him about the true and living God who
delivered his people. But instead of calling on Him, Moses committed a rash act
that he would later regret.
The next thing you know, God appeared in a very unusual way. You know the
story–there was a bush which burned, but was not consumed by the flame. This
stopped Moses dead in his tracks, for it was not like anything he had seen in
the temples growing up. An angel–perhaps the pre-incarnate Christ–called to
Moses, and he soon left Egypt behind in order to free God’s people from slavery.
In the same way, when Christ came to earth, the Bible tells us that He emptied
Himself of all His heavenly riches, leaving His glory behind. But the similarity
ends there, as we compare God’s riches with those of Moses.
To do this, look at the book of Genesis with me, and let’s ponder the creation
of the world. When we read the Biblical account, it is clear that God’s riches
were created out of nothing. That is a fact we can scarcely imagine.
But Moses must have seen things quite differently growing up. Since he was the
successor to his father’s throne, he would have taken wealth and prestige for
granted. Therefore, it is likely that only his murderous action could have
caused him to flee.
From this vignette, we can get a small idea of the price which Moses paid, but
no one can comprehend what the staggering cost of leaving heaven was for Jesus.
Jesus did much more than just leaving heaven, though. The gospels tell us that
He had no place to lay His head on earth. Then, after a mock trial, He was
crucified on a Roman cross and laid in a borrowed tomb. Three days later Christ
rose from the dead, and He was seen by more than 500 witnesses.
So now, let me ask you a question. Do you think you are bound by chains, my
friend? The Bible makes it clear that we have all been bound, but we no longer
have to stay that way. According to the scriptures, Jesus took our sin upon
Himself. Grace is the second password to His kingdom, and because of God’s grace
we no longer need to be locked out of heaven.
While God’s Word says that choosing to be locked out leads to eternal separation
from God, opening your heart to Him leads to abundant life now, and eternal life
then. So instead of focusing on the chains which bind you, look to the one who
can break them. Tell Him that you are a sinner in need of His grace, and that
you want to receive the new life which He offers.
On the other hand, if you are a follower of His and you feel trapped by pressure
and fear, call upon the name above all names. Ask Him for strength, and confess
any sin that may be holding you back. Then praise Him as you walk by faith,
knowing that He is walking with you.
