Jesus--the King of Saints!

Todays Reading: “Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.” (Revelation 15:3 KJV)

Jesus, friend of sinners (Luke 7:34 ) has become the King of saints. How? His great and marvelous works - His just and true ways. Man could never attain to the moral requirements of a just and holy God. Who among us has ever kept His commandments? (“There are none righteous, no not one.” Romans 3:10) Yet, how is it we are called saints? Being human we are sinful from birth (Genesis 8:21) and the just wages of our sin is death (Romans 6:23) But, “great and marvelous are thy works…” God has provided the Way - the Righteous for the unrighteous; the Just for the unjust (John 3:16). The Great Shepherd has become our sacrificial Lamb. The cross! The shame of the cross has become the glory of our salvation! Christ’s own blood was spilled on God’s mercy seat and atonement was complete (Herbrews 9:1-15)! Once and for all! Shepherd, Lamb, High Priest, Intercessor! Let us marvel at the cost of our sainthood. What an awesome God we serve! His wisdom is beyond understanding!
