Majesty of The King

There is protocol to meeting royalty. Personally, I’ve never had to concern myself with such since the most famous of folks I’ve ever met wouldn’t know royal protocol if it showed itself!

Bethlehem wasn’t prepared for The King’s arrival. Heaven’s majesty came forth nonetheless! The Messiah’s coming was no secret, “See, your Savior comes!” (Isaiah 62:11). Furthermore, His reception was to be like none other: “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is He, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” (Zechariah 9:9). Not just any king but “your king” – your own, long-promised, long-expected, and “Righteous Ruler among men” (2 Samuel 23:3). Much like Bethlehem, where The Savior found no room, the world will spotlight the irrelevant this season. The hearts of men, His rightful throne, will otherwise be occupied with tinsel and lights – contrary to Zechariah’s call to rejoice greatly. Oh, to see – to comprehend – to acknowledge the Majesty of King Jesus. ‘Tis not a season but an attitude of heart that we rejoice in our Maker and be glad in our King! (Psalm 149:2). Celebrate the Majesty of The King!
