Light Reflection-Psalm 132:17-18 Radiant Crown

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from Psalm 132:17 and 18.

“Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one. I will clothe his enemies with shame, but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown.”

This passage looks forward to the reign of the Messiah. When Jesus arrived, Zechariah the priest prophesied, “He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David.”

Jesus came as God’s anointed One to bear the cross. On that day, He wore a crown of thorns. But His Second Coming will reveal Jesus as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He will wear a radiant crown that reflects His majesty and holiness. He will sit on David’s throne forever and no one will take away His crown. God’s faithful people will be there to join the celebration and will sing for joy.

This Light Reflection inspires us to set apart Christ as Lord and live in the joy of His glorious reign in the Year to Shine.
