His Glory
“We see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He by the grace of God should
taste death for every man” (Hebrews 2:9).
When Queen Victoria had just ascended the throne of England she went to hear “The Messiah” rendered. She was instructed beforehand that as royalty she must not rise when the others stood at the singing of the Hallelujah Chorus. When that magnificent chorus was sung … “Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth,” she sat with great difficulty. However, when they came to the part where the singers with a shout proclaim Him King of Kings, suddenly, in spite of royal protocol, the young queen rose to her feet and stood with bowed head. Any earthly glory and acclaim she might have as sovereign of the realm only paled into insignificance in the presence of the Lord of glory.
May our hearts be truly filled with worship today as we consider the glories of the person of Christ, who loved us enough to die for us so that we can share in His glory in a future day.
