The Splendor of the King!

So you're blown away by the majesty of it all. By the splendor of the King. By the glory of the Creator. By the depths of the mercy and grace. All around. That He brings, to make life possible. Because Christ Jesus has done it! He has conquered the grave!

And it's true! It's when everything is put into perspective, the perspective of Christ.

That you see with eyes wide open.

When you know what really matters. The heart. The soul. Life. It's what Christ came to give, what He came to save. Anyways. And when you know it's all that matters, and you stay there. And you rest and you abide, there.

Then that's when peace, the kind of peace that surpasses all understanding, is what defines you. And that's when grace, the kind of grace that brings you to your knees, is what softens you.

For you to see Christ. To see more and more, of Christ.

And you see. That no mistake can break His plan. That no rebellion can scare Him away. That no regret nor guilt nor shame can reduce His power. His power to save. To save you.

And you're blown away. Into worship of your Creator and your God. Into praise of the One, and only One, Who has conquered the grave, Christ Jesus, the LORD, your King!

Amen and amen!

"Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place." - 1 Chronicles 16:23-27
