Robed in Majesty

~~~ Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe ~~~

 

~~~ Daniel 7:13-14 ~~~Psalm 93 ~~~ Revelation 1: 5-8 ~~~ John 18:33b-37 ~~~

 

 The prophet Daniel is having a sleepless night filled with visions
of Jesus entering into his rightful role as King.

The one like the son of man was presented to the Ancient One,
God the Father,
where he received dominion, glory, and kingship.
God the Father is the one who bestows the title of King upon Jesus.
"...His dominion is an everlasting dominion
that shall not be taken away,
his kingship shall not be destroyed."

All peoples of every nation and language serve him.

He will come in splendor robed...robed in majesty.

He says to all...
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, " says the Lord God,
"the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty."

 

 

Pilate in his ignorance and confusion questions and doubts the kingship of Jesus.

 

Jesus tells Pilate his kingdom is not of this world further

complicating his lack of understanding.

 

Out of frustration Pilate declares Jesus to be a king?

He orders the sign made to on the top of the cross.

 

Jesus, King of the Jews. 

 

Jesus answered, "You say I am a king.
For this I was born and for this I came into the world,
to testify to the truth.
Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."

 

Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega...

The one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty.

Jesus is the King of Kings.

 

The king born in a stable, rides in on a donkey and

wears a crown of thorns...

This is who we honor as our King today!
