Anyone else sing this song in worship today on this Christ the King Sunday? I've started my study in Revelation in preparation for the Advent study that starts this Friday! As a result, my appreciation of these last "end times" focus in our liturgy has meant more than ever before. Imagine - we future citizens of heaven will spend eternity worshipping God our King! We're the ones who "...lay their crowns before the throne and say, "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being." Rev.4:10, 11.
Just a few notes for those who plan on joining in on the Advent study and specifically to those who are new:
I would suggest reading the text in Revelation first, followed by the corresponding devotion in Behold, I am Coming Soon and then reading here. Stew and Chew on the reading even if it's confusing, read your self-study notes if you have them in your bible and then read the devotion. They really do a great job in explaining what you just read and you'll appreciate it all the more if you've just sat there confused for a few minutes - haha! Then after you've read the devotion and maybe made some notes in your bible to remember the next time you read through Revelation and you've stewed and chewed some more, come see what we're saying here. There. It's that's easy!
I'm not going to lie to ya'll - this can get confusing. But I'll say this to you to give you encouragement because I'm well into the study myself now - this is a great way to get the big picture, to gain clarity in the craziness of life but particularly Christmas and to grow in faith. What God has revealed to us in this book is a gift - I hope you will see that for yourself soon through the power of the Holy Spirit!
See you soon:)
