“...thou King of saints.”
(Rev. 15:3)
Among the lyrics of this God-glorifying song sung in heaven are these four stirring words, “...thou King of saints.” Not just “King of Kings,” but more personal and intimate, “King of saints.”Sometimes we’re told, “Make Jesus King of your life,” but this is a misnomer; He is already King! All anyone can do is to recognize and submit to His Kingship.
Some Bible teachers say, “He was a prophet, He is a priest, He will be King.” But the truth is He is the eternal King, 1 Tim. 1:17. Divine Royalty has marked his personage from eternity to eternity! He was born a King, He lived as a King, He died as a King, and He returns to this earth as King. He never once denied His Kingship.
Harry H. Ironside brings out a blessed thought in his book on the Song of Solomon. He teaches the bride’s shepherd lover turns out to be the King, in disguise. This is not difficult to accept. Mary thought Him to be a gardner. But no matter the outward adorning, He always had the heart of a KING. That of a Lion King, if you please.
As a babe He exchanged swaddling clothes for that of an ordinary childs; as an adult He took up the common man's garment, that of a workman. First, of a carpenter, then a shepherd; after His ascension he wears the garb of a priest; and at His coming back to earth He adorns His royal crown and apparel, that of KING of Kings and Lord of Lords!
“ME! A CHILD OF THE KING, IT’S BEYOND ALL COMPREHENSION!”
