“We Shall Overcome”
1. The KING is coming
Zech. 9:9
"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.
2. The KING did come
Luke 19:28-38
When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29. And it came to pass, when He came near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples, 30. saying, "Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. 31. And if anyone asks you, 'Why are you loosing it?' thus you shall say to him, 'Because the Lord has need of it.' " 32. So those who were sent went their way and found it just as He had said to them. 33. But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, "Why are you loosing the colt?" 34. And they said, "The Lord has need of him." 35. Then they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him. 36. And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road. 37. Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, 38. saying: "'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!' Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"
Luke 23:3-4
Then Pilate asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered him and said, "It is as you say." 4. So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no fault in this Man."
3. The KING is coming again
Acts 1:10-11
And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11. who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."
1 Thes. 4:18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Words by Isaac Watts, (1674-1748) "Jesus Shall Reign" a hymn based on Psalm 72 was written in his book, "The Psalms of David Imitated" in 1719. The idea being to make David's Psalms more 'singable.' This link will give you his picture and bio as well as all the verses to the Hymn.
1. Jesus shall reign where’er the sun, Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2. From north to south the princes meet, To pay their homage at His feet;
*While western empires own their land, And savage tribes attend His word.
3. To Him shall endless prayer be made, And praises throng to crown His head; His Name like sweet perfume shall rise, With every morning sacrifice.
4. People and realms of every tongue, Dwell on His love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His Name.
*Phrase added at a later date.
It's a time to thank the Lord for the debt He paid at Calvary. Some day every knee shall bow and call Him Lord! I trust He is already King of your life.
Love, Gpa G

Another good post to make me think.
I get so emotional when I think about what Christ did for me. He paid a debt that I in no way could pay. We try to do all sorts of good things to make us FEEL worthy of our salvation. When in reality our works and what we do have nothing to do with our salvation. We are wretched sinners saved by grace...WHY OH WHY can't we remember (on a daily basis) that HE IS KING--not only over the universe and creation but over our lives and ministry.
