A King to All

A KING TO ALL

Scripture:
John 3:16 And Psalm 45:2

Thank you Father, that You so loved the world that You gave Your one and only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ...that when the time had fully come, He wrapped Himself in human form, being born as a helpless baby in a poor family.  Thank You that He walked here on earth radiating the brightness of Your Glory and flawlessly expressing Your nature.  Through Him, people saw You in action, involved with them, available to meet their needs.  Thank You that He focused Your Almighty power into the lives of common people with deep needs just like me.  He preached the gospel to the poor, proclaimed freedom to prisoners of sin and recovery of sight to the blind, and set free the oppressed victims of sin and Satan.  He lifted up the downtrodden, the lost, the hurting, the broken.

Thank You for the way He rebuked the arrogant and looked with favor on the humble minded, opening wide the door of His Kingdom to those who were destitute and helpless in spirit.  I delight in Your tender mercies, O my God, by which the Sunrise from on high has come to us!

Thank You that through the Gospels I can watch this beloved One walk among ordinary people.  I can hear the gracious words that came from His lips.  I can see His compassion and tenderness toward needy people.  His anger at hypocrisy, His faithfulness, His intense love for His Bride whom he has covenanted with.

Fairest One of all Lord Jesus!  You alone are my heart's desire...my chief delight...my soul's glory, joy, and crown.  Every advantage life can offer is like rubbish, compared with the overwhelming gain of knowing You. You are worthy, Lord, worthy to be thanked and praised and worshiped and adored.

SEED WORD:
Sometimes we can lose our fire when circumstances aren't good in our life, but if I'm never blessed again, that gift of life he breathed into me the day I fell to my knees broken in spirit from the world's filth, is enough to make me praise and thank Him the rest of my life.  There is nothing that thrills my soul more than to see a person go to the foot of the cross and get saved.  A life has been reborn, and the angels even rejoice. Let us not shut out the ones Jesus wants so lovingly to come to Him.  Take the time in your busy life to help a young Christian mature or the lonely and desperate find their way to the greatest miracle of all, salvation. Let not our mercies and justice be withheld in our churches for the less fortunate. The church should be a place that radiates life, not judgment and hypocrisy.
