Your king is coming to you

Say to the daughter of Zion,
Behold, your king is coming to you. (Matthew 21:5, ESV)

Those words struck me this morning.

“Behold, your king is coming to you.”

The first time Jesus came, he came humbly and mounted on a donkey, for the purpose of dying for our sins.

The next time he comes, it will be in power, to judge and to save. (Hebrews 9:27-28)

We see that throughout this chapter.

He brought judgment on those rejected him and his authority. But to the sinners who repented of their sins and believed in him, he gave salvation.

That is the message we need to preach.

“Your King is coming. He is coming to reap the fruit of faith, repentance, and righteousness. And if you do not produce that fruit, you will be judged.”

Lord, may we be people that bear your fruit each day, and preach your gospel to this lost and dying world.
