Behold your King

“Behold, your king is coming to you.”

Are you afraid? - Behold, your king is coming to you. 

Are you anxious? - Behold, your king is coming to you.

Are you sick? - Behold, your king is coming to you.

Are you unemployed? - Behold, your king is coming to you.

Are you lost? - Behold, your king is coming to you.

The Bible from beginning to end declares one key message. Behold, your king is coming to you. When we are far away. When we are rebellious. When we are complacent. When we are afraid. When we are confused. When we are angry. When we are in need. When we are sick. When we are heart-broken. When we are overwhelmed. While we were still sinners - Christ the king who is coming to us died FOR US.

And oh how we need to hear and trust in this truth today.  

As deaths from COVID-19 increase, as jobs are lost, as healthcare workers are short supplies, as the world is changing before our very eyes - Behold, your king is coming to you.

Church - this is our hope. This is our firm foundation. Behold, your king is coming to you.  And when He comes again - every wrong will be made right, every sickness will be healed, every broken heart will be made whole. He will be our God and we will be His people and He will dwell in our midst. And until that Day comes - our king is coming to us.  

He comes in the here and now to quiet us with His love and to rejoice over us with singing. He is mighty to save (Zeph. 3:17). He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak (Isaiah 40:29).

May God give us eyes to see - behold, our King! He is coming!

Looking for the King,
