A Word about the Greatest Mic Drop of All

Today I want to share a word about about the greatest mic drop of all as I comment on Hebrews 10:11-14. This passage reads:

And every priest stands day after day at his service, offering again and again the same sacrifices that can never take away sins. But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, "he sat down at the right hand of God," and since then has been waiting "until his enemies would be made a footstool for his feet." For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

The Last Word?

In recent years, stand-up comics and others who are addressing a crowd have indulged in what is called a “mic drop moment.” This is when at the end of a performance or a speech, the speaker literally drops or tosses the microphone and stalks off the stage. This has come to signify someone who believes they have just uttered the last word on a subject.

Human Arrogance:

In truth, a mic drop moment is just one symptom of the growing arrogance and rudeness which is becoming increasingly common in our society today. People not only want to prove their point, but they also want to dominate, and even destroy, any opposition to their way of thinking. 

No doubt we humans are intelligent, inquisitive, and inventive people and we have produced some marvelous things such as modern factories, automobiles, airplanes, and computers. We have flown to the moon and back and we are now investigating Mars with robotic explorers. The creation of the COVID-19 vaccines is a marvel, and yet, as wonderful as that is, we have not yet created a vaccine for the common cold. After over a century of trying, only in recent months has a vaccine for malaria been approved, a disease which kills about 500,000 people a year, world-wide.

Truth be told, we humans are not as smart as we think we are. People still rob, kill, slander, and hurt each other in a myriad of ways. Inter-personal relationships are still fragile, and try as we might, we have yet to stamp out prejudice, discrimination, racism, or domestic violence. 

The Ultimate Mic Drop:

Only one person has ever deserved to perform a mic drop moment and that is our Lord and Savior. When Jesus had completed His work of being our perfect and once-for-all sacrifice for our sins He said, “It is finished,” and then He died, only to rise again on the third day.

Now, having performed the greatest mic drop of all times, Jesus is enjoying a Sabbath at the Father’s right hand, waiting for the day when death and Hell will be thrown into the lake of fire and He will create a new Heaven and a New Earth to the glory of God the Father.

Deserved Accolades:

Of all the people who have ever lived, only one has lived a perfect, sinless life. Only one finished His work and sat down at the right Hand of God and only one is making intercession for us there today. Only one person has ever truly deserved a mic drop moment, and that one did it all for us!

This Christmas, remember who the baby Jesus really is. Jesus is King of Kings, Lord of Lord, and Our Savior! Only He deserves our praise, honor, and glory! Give Him the acclamation He deserves, for the greatest mic drop of all time!

Every blessing,
