In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.  Judges 17:6

Jesus foretold “Strike the Shepherd and the sheep will scatter” (Matthew 26:31) This has been a common theme for Gods people, when the leadership of God’s people is removed or becomes corrupted, the people will scatter, the people will do what is right in their own eyes! Does that sound familiar today?

As we look across the plane of Christianity, many “Churches” are doing what is right in their own eyes, teaching heresies, embracing abominations, they have totally abandoned the rule and reign of our Lord and King Jesus Christ. This was no different for Israel, as soon as Moses disappeared for 40 days, they were building a Golden Calf, it didn’t take long for Gods people to embrace idolatry and paganism

The same issue is happening in today’s Christianity, idolatry and paganism has overtaken the elect once again! People care more about their buildings than they do about worshipping God in Spirit and Truth (John 4:24) People care more about programs than they do about learning the Bible, people care more about being entertained than they do about worshipping The Lord. Everyone does what is right in their own eyes!

The Church today has the same attitude as fallen Israel, “there was no king” therefore we can do whatever we feel is right! The reality is there was always a King, God was always the King of the Heavens and Earth (Psalm 47:2)  even before anyone would recognize Him! Is Jesus Christ your King? Because Christ is the King of all Kings and Lord of all Lords! (Revelation 19:16) Every knee will bow and tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God The Father! (Philippians 2)

Is Jesus Christ really your Lord? Many people will claim and profess that He is, then why don’t you act like Jesus is your Lord? Why don’t you live and submit your life to Christ? Even though many profess to be Christians, they profess Jesus Is Lord, they are doing whatever was right in their own eyes! 

However in the end, Jesus warns many will profess to be Christians, many will profess that Jesus is Lord, however Christ doesn’t even know them! Does Jesus know You? Do you submit to Christ or do you do whatever seems good in your own eyes? That is not legalism, that is not works based salvation, that is truly living as Jesus Christ is your Lord! Amen!
