DAD'S RAMBLINGS -- OUR GOD REIGNS FOREVER

DAD'S RAMBLINGS – OUR GOD REIGNS FOREVER

"But to the Son, He says: Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom." (Hebrews 1:7)

This verse is a quotation from Psalm 45:6. God the Father says to His Son, the Lord Jesus, that His throne will last forever.

There have been many kings and kingdoms through human history, and they have all come and gone. None of them have lasted forever. But our King will be King for eternity.

There are some who do not think Jesus is God. But this verse declares that Jesus is God, and God is eternal. He will never cease to be, nor lose His position as the eternal King.

The Book of Revelation declares that "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever" (Revelations 11:15). George Fredrick Handle used this as the theme for his magnificent Hallelujah Chorus in the oratorio, The Messiah. When we hear the Hallelujah Chorus, our spirits are lifted higher and higher as the music soars. The Sopranos start the refrain, "King of Kings and Lord of Lords," and the rest of the choir responds antiphonally, "Forever and Ever, Hallelujah, Hallelujah." The Sopranos go up one step, and sing again, "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" and again the Choir answers, "Forever and Ever, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!"

We sing the song, "Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon the throne." But we don't have to wait until we get to heaven. We get to crown Him king of our lives right now. We serve a living king, and His kingdom will last forever.

Love, Dad
