Kiss the Son

Kiss the Son

Lest He be angry and you perish from the way; For His anger may suddenly be kindled.Blessed are all those who take refuge in Him. Psa. 2:12

The Holy Bible, Recovery Version footnote

Kiss the Son: Kiss  S.S. 1:2;  8:1;  cf. 1 Sam. 10:1;  1 Kings 19:18

To take refuge in the Son is to believe into the Son, Christ (John 3:16, 36), taking Him as our refuge, protection, and hiding place. To kiss the Son is to love the Son and thereby to enjoy Him (John 14:21, 23). To believe in the Lord is to receive Him (John 1:12); to love the Lord is to enjoy the Lord whom we have received. These are the two requirements for us to participate in the Lord.

Let us be those who "kiss the Son(Jesus Christ)" by loving Him.

Lord Jesus, I love You!

This is in response to the message in WhatsApp about the Paris Attack at a concert singing "Kiss the Devil". My innate response in reading that message was "Kiss the Son," and posted the above message to that extent. Fellow brothers and sisters responded by declaring, "'Lord Jesus I love You!" If the "dead" kissed the devil, we, the saints of God, who are living must kiss the Son, in oneness with the Lord Jesus, who is on a spiritual battle with the devil. Our sincere participation in this spiritual warfare is by simple loving the Lord Jesus, by "kissing the Son."

The devil may have so much influence among ungodly generation today and even gains worship from fallen mankind, still there are the remnants of the Lord Jesus Christ who renders genuine worship to Whom worship is due, the Lord Jesus Christ. 

The devil may gain lovers to the extend of popularising it via his rock bands, still the Lord has His redeemed people who loves Him and would serve Him at all cost, counting all as lost, even dung, because they love Him.

We love God because He first loved us (1 John 4:19); we serve God because we love Him (2 Cor. 5:14). It is the greatest honor to love Him and the greatest privilege to serve Him.

Matthew 26:7-8

A woman came to Him, having an alabaster flask of ointment of great value, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at table. But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, Why this ¹waste?

---

8¹ The disciples considered Mary's love offering to the Lord a waste. Throughout the past twenty centuries thousands of precious lives, heart treasures, high positions, and golden futures have been "wasted" upon the Lord Jesus. To those who love Him in such a way He is altogether lovely and worthy of their offering. What they have poured upon Him is not a waste but a fragrant testimony of His sweetness. 

Paris, a city of love, must know what true love is. May this city be a city of God's love flowing among her citizens teeming with love, not merely in a romantic sense devoid of God's love, but genuinely loving God, who is Love. This must indeed be a city of love where "lovers kisses the Son" by loving the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paris, a city of God's love; kiss the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ! 
Seigneur Jésus Je t'aime!    
Lord Jesus, I love You!

Paris Concert Crowd Was Singing ‘Kiss The Devil’ The Moment Terror Attacks Beganby Geoffrey Grider(Source: http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/paris-concert-crowd-was-singing-kiss-the-devil-the-moment-terror-attacks-began/)

Mere moments away from slaughter, Paris fans at Eagles Of Death Metal concert sang song glorifying the Devil"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" 1 Peter 5:8 (KJV)With their hands raised high in the air, Paris fans at the Eagles Of Death Metal concert made the Satanic "devil horns" salute without seemingly a care in the world. Amazingly, the song that was playing the moment the shooting started was called 'Kiss The Devil', and here are some of the lyrics from that tune:"Kiss The Devil" - by Eagles Of Death MetalWho'll love the Devil?Who'll song his song?Who will love the Devil and his song?I'll love the DevilI'll sing his songI will love the Devil and his songWho'll love the Devil?Who'll kiss his tongue?Who will kiss the Devil on his tongue?I'll love the DevilI'll kiss his tongueI will kiss the Devil on his tongue

As the French death metal fans were singing along with those lyrics, offering their love to Satan, the Devil responded as the Devil always does. With death and destruction. Now, you go ahead and spin that any way you like, any way that makes you feel comfortable. But as a Bible believer, I know exactly what happened Friday night at 9:40PM GMT in Paris, France. People asked for a manifestation of the Satan, and guess what? They got one.

It is safe to say that there were just about no Christians at the concert that night, that the vast majority of those people were lost, unsaved people. I wonder how many of them were offered the life-saving gospel of Jesus Christ and turned their nose up at it? Probably more than a few of them. We see it all the time as we street preach in St. Augustine. To most lost people, the Devil is a joke and Hell will be a beer and sex infused party. Nothing could be further from the truth.

"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;" Hebrews 2:14 (KJV)

As those people bled and died on the dance floor of the Death Metal concert, they went from singing about the Devil to meeting the Devil face to face. Hell is no joke, it is absolutely not a party, and you do not have to end up there. Click here to read all about a place called Hell that you can avoid by trusting in the finished work of Jesus Christ.

Friday night they "kissed the Devil", and the Devil kissed them right back. Don't let it happen to you."And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." Acts 16:30.31 (KJV)
