Podcast 39.1 Transcript
Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s think about this.
King of my life I crown Thee now
Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” John 1:49ESV
Nathanael made this declaration when he first met Jesus. The challenge for us is choosing to crown Jesus as our King every day, not just the first.. Some days are certainly easier than others, but on the hard days is when crowning Him becomes most important and helpful.. Crown Him today!
Thine shall the glory be
Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 ESV
Jesus will be given glory for all He accomplished and is even now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Truly He is receiving glory. As you look to Jesus may it be your first inclination to give Him glory and so join the worship around the throne. You don’t have to wait.
Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow
And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. John 19:2 ESV
The crown King Jesus was given on earth was not one of honor but dishonor. He should have been given glory as the purple robe indicated but instead wore a crown of thorns demonstrating a humility that is difficult to imagine, and should never be forgotten.
Lead me to Calvary
And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Luke 23:33 ESV
Calvary is the place where Jesus was crucified. Skull is sometimes translated Calvary which comes from the Latin word for skull. Undeserving of punishment He took a place in the middle of those who were. We must remember and follow the path of self-denial that Jesus took.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more, with the Refrain.
King of my life I crown Thee now
Thine shall the glory be
Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow
Lead me to Calvary
Lest I forget Gethsemane
Lest I forget Thine agony
Lest I forget Thy love for me
Lead me to Calvary
Take the mindfulness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, Be Resonant.
