“The kingdom of the world of our Lord and of His Christ is come, and He shall reign to the ages of ages” (Revelation 11:15 JND).
Today is the Lord’s day, and many of us will come together to remember the Lord Jesus in His death, as He has asked us to do. At that time we honor and praise Him for who He is, while thanking Him for what He has done for us on the cross. However, we do not see Him except by faith, as He has not yet taken His rightful place as King. But He is the rightful King, and this world belongs to Him, first of all as Creator, and then as Redeemer. Satan has taken over this world, but he is what we call a usurper—someone who takes over something that does not really belong to him. God is letting Satan have his way for now, for man has chosen to follow Satan instead of the Lord. However, very soon the Lord Jesus will come and take His rightful place, and then the proclamation will go out that the Lord Jesus is once again in His place as King. All will be compelled to own Him then as King, and to bow before Him.
How wonderful it is that we who know Him can bow before Him now, and own Him as the rightful King!
