Long Live the King: Finding Eternal Life Through Jesus

DAY 1 OF 3

Day 1 - A Humble King

Devotional

“Therein crown of thorn and thistle, the king of Jews was found. On a cross bloodied and broken, the crimson river flowing down…”

The lyrics to the first verse of “Long Live the King” aim to paint the picture of our messiah on the cross. He was marred. Disfigured. Unrecognizable. Despised. Rejected. Man of sorrows. Stricken with grief. Pierced. Crushed. Cursed. All of these are words and phrases that we wouldn’t commonly think of when we imagine our eternal God sitting on His eternal throne in Heaven. He is a God who is high and lifted up, “glorious in holiness, fearful in praises.” (Ex. 15:11)

Yet the scandal that took place over 2,000 years ago was one that took the whole earth by storm, and all of Heaven by surprise.

GOD BECAME MAN

Not only did He intentionally hide His glory, but He came as a baby, to the lowliest of people, in the lowliest of places. In order to showcase the deep humility in His heart, our beautiful God, came from the highest place in Heaven to the very lowest place on earth.

Reflection:

Right now, take a few minutes to watch the music video below and than ask yourself the following questions:

Are there any areas in your life where God is asking you to demonstrate more humility?

In your life, what would it look like to be surrendered to the Father to the degree that Jesus was surrendered when he took the cross?
