We have limited Christ– to the sanctuary, – to the temple, – to the religious area of our lives. 

We have not practiced applied Christianity. We Christians act and live as though Christ were dead.

This kind of Christ will never make an impact on the world in which we live. This is not the Christ of the Bible. He is too weak and small; He is irrelevant. 

The weak, emaciated, impotent Christ of the church of today bears little resemblance to the Christ that Isaiah the prophet talked about. 

He bears little resemblance to the Christ who is found in the early church, which dared to challenge the world and turn it upside down.

Jesus Christ is alive. This risen Christ, taken by faith in all of His power and glory, is great enough and big enough to cope with every problem the human race faces at this hour.

The risen Christ is big enough to cope with the tyranny of man over man. 

Not only can He save the individual– but His power has worldwide implications. 

Isaiah said, “The government will be upon His shoulder” 9:6. 

He has not abdicated His sovereignty in the affairs of men. He is still the Lord of history!
