Jesus' tremendous name
Puts all our foes to flight:
Jesus, the meek, the angry Lamb,
A Lion is in fight.
By all hell's host withstood;
We all hell's host o'erthrow;
And conquering them, through Jesus' blood
We still to conquer go.
-- Charles Wesley via Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Morning and Evening
Christianity is a religion of world conquest. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus; to Him every knee shall bow and to His Lordship every tongue will confess. Every enemy of His will be made either into a child of God by rebirth and adoption or into a footstool for His authority to rest until every last enemy, the very last being death, will be defeated. The gates of hell shall not prevail against the advance of God's Kingdom. His Kingdom shall come and His will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven. The leaven works its way through the entire lump and the small seed surrendered to death and burial sprouts up to be the largest of all shrubs.
