There was once a day when soldiers and kings mocked Jesus with the props for a fake king. However, there is a day coming when his opponents will bow before him in all regal splendor as he wields a real scepter and makes true judgments.
To his cross and above his head in shame, his enemies affixed the mocking title of king. However, in his eternal decree, and to his everlasting glory, Almighty God has affixed this indelible inscription: “I have set my king in Zion, my holy Hill.” (Ps. 2.6)
While there is no refuge from him but there is refuge in him (Psalm 2.12).
In Jesus’ 1st advent he magnified the law through his obedience & death, in his 2nd advent he will magnify it through judgment.
Because Jesus obeyed God perfectly in our place, every bud of present happiness and delight will be fully bloomed when we enter the eternal presence of Christ.
Because Jesus bore our guilt and shame, every weed of pain and grief will be finally plucked when we enter the eternal presence of Christ.
