King of Glory
“Lift up your heads, O you
gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting
doors! And the King of glory shall come
in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty
in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye
gates! Lift up, you everlasting
doors! And the King of glory shall come
in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of
glory. Selah Ps. 24:7-10
David left the
Ark of the Covenant at the faithful house of Obed-Edom until such time as the
king was ready to obediently bring the Ark to Jerusalem. Once he was prepared to do so, David ushered
in the Ark of the Covenant, the presence of God, with joy in his heart. The excerpt from Psalm 24 above gives us an
insight as to what it was like as the royal procession made its way into the
City of David. It is noteworthy that in
Psalm 24 David writes twice the question, who is this King of glory. Perhaps it could be viewed as the first
coming of Jesus, followed by His majestic return.
Jesus is the Son
of Man – the Lord who is strong and mighty.
Jesus is the Returning King – the
Lord of Hosts. He is the King of Glory –
the One who shall enter in, the One who is worthy of our praise.
