Revelation 11:15 “Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.’”
A PERFECT RULER
Hallelujah! I just love singing Handel’s “Messiah.” It is truly inspirational. We have reason to sing. One day, as the verse above says, He will reign forever and ever.
Can you imagine a world where Christ literally reigned as King? Can you imagine the peace and freedom from harm? Nobody to threaten or harm you. No one to try to take what is yours.
And Christ, unlike any earthly king, will be a perfect ruler, always ruling with love and justice. There will no reason to fear Him. In fact, all will be drawn to Him to worship and adore Him. Everyone will want to serve King Jesus when His kingdom is established on earth.
TEACHING MOMENT
How do we explain this concept of Christ’s kingdom to our children? I bet many of your children have seen either the movie or the animation of C.S. Lewis’ “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” If they have, they can understand the concept of a king and kingdom. Now, explain to them that Christ’s kingdom, however, will be perfect. No one will be around to challenge His authority. All will be loyal to Him and to each other.
When Christ reigns in His world, we as believers can all rest assured that He will rule justly and lovingly. He died to bring us to this place. He died so that we might live with Him forever in His kingdom.
