The Psalter of Jesus: Rest from the King // Psalm 126-128
Nov 20, 2016
Pastor Mark Bergin
The kings of the earth give us little more than ruin. Even their greatest
strengths will fail. But their is a king of heaven who has made the earth
his concern. And he has brought the kingdom of heaven to us -- all the way
to us. It is a kingdom that requires no toil, since its king is ever at
rest and ever sharing his rest with us. Do you know this rest? It is not
some distant reality, but rather a present and manifest gift for every
hour. King Jesus is true, and his rest is here and now and all around -- in
the heart-lifting joy of laughter, and the body-soothing peace of sleep,
and the soul-filling presence of children. These are gifts that no earthly
king need ruin. Only look and see.
