OUR VICTORIOUS KING
“Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of
glory. Selah.”
Psalms 24:10 KJV
Rev. James M. Gray wrote an inspiring hymn about our Saviour
“Who is the King of Glory?” I love these
words. “Who is the King of Glory? He who overcame our enemy; Who took our place
at judgment bar, And made His cross the victor’s car; He is the King of Glory! He is the King of Glory!”
Pastor J. Wilbur Chapman wrote one of my favorite hymns “One
Day”. “Living, He loved me; dying, He
saved me; Buried, He carried my sins far away; Rising, He justified freely
forever; One day He’s coming—O glorious day!”
The words in this beautiful hymn should fill our heart with joy and
happiness.
They spat on Jesus.
They beat Him beyond recognition.
They pounded nails into His hands and when they did I believe for every
nail they pounded into His hands, He felt that agonizing pain in His
heart. They rejected Him and cursed Him
and left Him alone to die. Yet He stayed
on the cross because He loves us.
Jesus walked that long lonely road to Calvary to die for our
sins and while hanging there in pain and agony that you and I will never know,
He asked God to forgive us. “Then said
Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted
his raiment, and cast lots” (Luke 23:34).
We should fall on our knees in gratitude for Jesus, the “KING
OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”. What a
Saviour! What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth
