“Even If He Doesn’t” … When three men stood before certain death they uttered this response.

And the “He” that they referred to was the Alpha Male … the TRUE Alpha Male.  The self proclaimed Alpha AND Omega.  The one TRUE God.

Daniel 3 16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter.  17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king.  18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”  

3 men.

A blazing furnace.

A threat.

An easy way out.

And yet, they chose to stand.

And The Alpha Male?  Without Him, we have a wonderful Christmas story.  We have bulletin boards filled with a nice idea of our perception of the gospel.  And we have peace at a Sunday morning service.  But with him?  We have EVERYTHING.  And this EVERYTHING is the VERY THING that we seek but can never attain without Him.  We have the hope of nations.  We have Hope … And a Future.  We have protection … and someone who truly has our back.  Without Him … we have NOTHING.  But with Him?  We have the greatest gift on planet earth.

Obviously the Alpha Male that I am referring to … is Jesus.

As I sing All Hail King Jesus … I am so convicted of this.  And for this reason I can’t stop listening to it, singing with it, raising my hands to heaven as I worship Him in the midst of it.

Jesus stared in the face of the bleakest situation in the history of the world.  And He gave all that He had that we might have life.

We must never, ever, ever, forget this.

Because Jesus, as He hung on that cross, chose not to forget you.

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

As you play this song this morning—I encourage you to play it and contemplate the lyrics … so convicting.  Take a moment this day to worship … and to cry out in Spirit and Truth.
