REIGNING ON EARTH
“You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by
Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and
have made us kings and priests to our God;
and we shall reign on the earth.” -REVELATION 5:9,10
When
we think of a king, we usually think of some human authority exerting
their will upon their subjects with a haughty air. But true authority is
not found in title or position. Jesus, the King of Kings, shows us that
true authority is serving, not lording over. In fact, Psalm 72 tells us
what a true king is – someone who serves the people, provides for the
poor, and defends those who cannot defend themselves.
We are
being prepared for a kingdom. But our preparation is not in learning how
to wear a crown or how to walk around with a glorious robe and scepter.
One brother sings, “He’s brought me low so I could know the way to
reach the heights.” In God’s Kingdom, to go higher, we must go lower.
That is the Hidden Wisdom.
