Enthroned on High

People of God,

Brett has been leading us in the Songs of Revelation. Brett said as we began, “Jesus deserves our holistic worship, a worship that is rooted in the depths of our heart…” So, we are looking at these “songs” with the aim of more fully joining the worship we see as we read and study these songs that picture to us the worship of the heavenly chorus.

In our first passage we see a throne. Jesus is the king, he is reigning. When you and I trust in Jesus, He comes to live in us. He begins to reign in us. We were kings of our hearts. Now, we have begun to experience the blessing—the new freedom as we let Him reign/rule/be-in-charge in our lives. But, in our main passage for Sunday (Revelation 11.15-19), we see that reign, largely hidden until now, become visible. And all the heavenly beings celebrate—they worship—Jesus the king has begun to visibly reign. 

As you meditate on the Scripture below, I invite you to let the reality of the reign of Jesus now in our hearts and in history, though hidden, and the visible reign of Jesus that is coming lead you into fuller worship of the King of Kings.
