The Iron Rod and the Choice!

We seek God’s Face, not His Power.  But it is important to understand just how Great God’s Power IS.    He created this world.  The sun, the earth, the seas, the mountains and us…That took great power ?.  A power so vast, we can not even begin to understand or imagine it.

In the Bible, it talk’s of Christ’s “Rod of Iron” in many passages.  And it depicts His Rod in many ways, but there is one way that is a little different from some of the others.

In Psalm 23:4, The Bible says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

The “rod” in some ways represents God’s Great Power, as well as His Power to protect us.  It can be used to Protect His sheep (us), just as it can be used to ensure that Justice comes to those who choose to reject Christ.  God gave us a choice:  Justice or Mercy-and the freedom to make it.
