Christ, the One True Source of Real Revival

Many precious hearts are still aching today, July 8, 2009, because of the loss of a special icon, Michael Jackson, the king of pop. It has been quite a phenomenon to watch the last few days unfold since his death. And for the Christian, we can't help wishing that he might somehow be in heaven with the Master, rejoicing and singing his praises, around his throne of grace. But we just don't know, and this is the most difficult part of a special someone's passing on from this life.
God has centered everything in his own dear Son, our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only one who is indeed the greatest star of all time, and throughout all of eternity. So each and every one of us must seek him and find him, and hold him close in our hearts like nobody else. For to know him is to love him with one's entire being. For to us who know him so intimately and specially, "He is like the light of the morning, like the sunrise bursting forth in a cloudless sky, like the refreshing rains that bring forth tender grass from the earth" (II Sam. 23:4).
There is always much talk of revival. But we must find the way to it before it can ever be realized. For if such a wonderful event would ever be realized, then the way of it must be sought at the very one and only foundation, who is Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. When all of the human errors and fabrications are put to rest, and Christ's Spirit's power is finally allowed to take center stage, when his power is released in the truth that makes us free (Jo. 8:32), only then will we experience great revival in this world, that perhaps the world has never before known. I'm sure that would be a wonderful day that would make straight the pathway to the King (Lu. 3:4-6) for hurting and aching hearts everywhere!
This is the task that the church needs to attend to today, to become the true light in the world, so that all might come to know him and his wondrous power. Only then will joy replace earthly sorrow, and a happy new day dawn on the earth with the one true King of glory leading songs of praise to his dear name, on earth and in heaven.
The Scripture verses following this latest post, dated July 6, 2009, I believe can lead the way to great revival of faith on earth. They lead us away from all of "the weak and beggarly elements"(Gal. 4:9) that separate us from the love and power of God in our lives. They have the power to lead us into the throne room of the great Shepherd and King of all kings! It is my earnest prayer that many would pay close attention to such an important matter as this is while they still remain on earth to do so. Our salvation is before us today, and there is no other future day whereby we can be saved. For only Christ can heal the broken-hearted, and set the captives free. This is what Michael Jackson needed, and what everyone needs to release us from earthly cares and troubles. Michael is over there, now, already in eternity. But we are still here, and we must make our lives shine with the light of Jesus so that the great light and love of God in Christ will shine out brightly and bring many troubled hearts into his kingdom on high.
