We are Triumphant in Jesus our Prophet, Priest and King

Verses: Psalms 110: 1 - 7

Song inspired by the chapter:  Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.




My thoughts about the verses:

Those that accept Jesus into their lives are to know the peace that comes from the grace of God.  Jesus was triumphant over death and so will we be.  This is not to say that we will not die an Earthly death.  Instead we will not die an eternal death.  We will receive our gift of everlasting life at our appointed time.

Jesus fulfilled all of the prophesies of old.  Jesus was the prophet that the world had looked for.  Jesus was the Messianic prophet that would come and end our pain and suffering.  The world would be uplifted in peace and grace through the one that came to fulfill all of the prophesies.  The Messiah would not only come to one community but to all the people that would accept the grace so freely given.

Jesus was the priest that the community had hoped for.  Jesus was the one that would be able to explain the past and teach about the future.  Jesus brought the teachings that the world needed to hear.  Jesus taught about salvation and restored hope.  Jesus taught all that would hear the story of new life.  The story of the new creation was taught by Jesus.  Jesus was anointed as the most High of all Priest and was given the power to teach the ultimate story.

Jesus is the King that had been waited for.  Jesus did not arrive in a chariot shooting arrows and conquering the nations of the world.  Instead Jesus came as a babe that lived a human life that was pure and holy.  His life was without sin.  He would be the ruler of the heart of man.  The final judgment would come in the end through the power of the mighty king.

See we have all been given a gift.  Yet, there are many who do not accept the free gift of salvation.  Jesus is waiting for us to turn over our hearts to God.  Jesus is waiting for us to accept the grace that is ours for the taking.  It is a gift that we have not earned it was bought through the power of our Messiah.  Our Savior conquered the death that awaits us if we do not accept the gift of eternal life.

We shall be triumphant in Jesus our prophet, priest and king.  We can claim that victory if only we humble ourselves enough to accept the grace offered.  We can serve the One Most High if we only give our lives over to God. 

Prayer:

We praise you God for your love.  We thank you Jesus for your gift of eternal life.  We offer our voices up in song to praise the Holy King.  We ask that you help us live for you.  Help us share your love to others.  We ask that you cleanse us and make us whole.  In the name of the Risen Savior we pray.  Amen

Questions:


Have you accepted the gift of everlasting life?  Have you asked God to be the ruler of your life?  Have you read the priestly teachings and accepted the story of salvation?  Do you now understand the prophesies fulfilled by Jesus the prophet of God?
