Good morning, happy Saturday,
“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.”
(1 Timothy 1:17).
Right in the middle of this wonderful chapter of 1 Timothy 2, Paul bursts forth in praise to God. He had just been describing himself as the chief of sinners and remembering God’s mercy shown to him. He praises our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ as the the King eternal. Jesus is the King of the Jews, the King of kings, and the King who reigns forever and ever.
Jesus our King was born to die and born to reign. After He died for our sins, rose from the dead, and ascended back to heaven, He sat down at the right hand of God. We are children of the King. We have all the blessings of heaven and an inheritance which is incorruptible, undefiled, and reserved for us in heaven.
Our King is all powerful, almighty, and unconquerable. Paul says He is immortal, invisible, and alone is wise. No one can compare to our sovereign King. He is immortal, living forever; He is invisible, unseen by human eyes; and all wise. We are on the King’s side and He is on our side. He is so strong yet so loving, kind, and compassionate to us. Paul gives all honor and glory to the Lord forever and ever.
May the Lord help us to praise and worship Him, live for Him and serve Him. Let us do His will fully and further His kingdom. Jesus said in Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Have a blessed day in praising and worshiping the Lord and serving Him faithfully. Stay safe and healthy.
In His grace,
Dean
