Acts 5:31
“God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.”
This language “as Leader” means Prince. This is used of Jesus over and over through out Scripture, meaning that God has exalted Jesus and now He sits at His right hand ruling the nations. It also means that He, Jesus goes first and forges the way for others.
Jesus is
The Prince
and
The Pioneer
Not only is Jesus The Way, but He goes first and makes The Way for us to follow Him. Jesus saves us, and then leads us into new experiences, new adventures, and new trails to blaze. The Christian life is not a parking lot, but a launch pad into the fullness of life with Jesus. We are not stagnant but striving forward with our Savior, the Prince of Peace and Leader. Father God, thank You that Jesus went first and goes first, and our walk is with Him on this adventure. Help me to keep pace with our Prince of Peace today, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
ACTION: Keep pace with Perfect Peace
