Jesus Is Alive by David Mathisනියැදිය

Our Reigning Savior

Having finished the work his Father gave him to accomplish, God’s own Son ascended to the throne—not a throne on earth but the throne of heaven. The Father himself has crowned him King of all the universe. He has called forth the royal diadem and crowned him King of every family, every tribe, every nation: King of all time and space and history.

We who call him King and Lord will gather one day with all the angels and saints to fall at his feet. Even now, he gives us the dignity of participating in heaven’s coronation ceremony as we crown him Lord both with our praises and with our glad obedience.

We crown him Lord through daily lives of continual praise and as we gather weekly with our new kindred and tribe in worship.

The glorious enthronement of Christ has not ended but continues. We see it now and experience it by faith, and we participate in it with our praises. And one day soon, with all his redeemed, we, at last, will join in the everlasting song which does not end, and which grows only richer and sweeter for all eternity.

Reflection Question

How can you acknowledge and even celebrate Christ as King and Lord today?
