Overcoming by the Power of the Cross

 “And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭15‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Then John saw what looked like a vast sea of glass blended with fiery flames. Standing beside the sea were those who continually conquer the wild beast, his image and the number of his name.  All those who are one day victorious over the “beast” will learn to sing this eternal song of thanksgiving and praise.  The “beast” is our self-life as the psalmist told us, “I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You.”  We are called to overcome this beast through the life of Jesus within us.  As we overcome by the power of the Cross and receive the love of Christ for ourselves, we qualify as overcomers who sing the sacred song of Moses.  All that is of the beast must be laid aside as we take up the Christ nature and live in His strength.  He can change each of us from a beast to a lamb. Christ Himself will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.  Amen!
