He Was (Will be) KING

 

HE WAS KING

 

He was King to rural peasants in pastures lush or bare,

 

Shepherds bound to a timeless trade.

 

He was King to men who give tender love and care,

 

Whether ‘long mountain trail or thru creeks they wade.

 

 

He will be King of a City with a million square miles,

 

The gates will be pearl, the streets will be gold.

 

Because of their King the dwellers all have smiles,

 

He redeemed them by His resurrection long foretold.

Empty cross it only a partial answer.

 

A crucifix is not the answer.  It is an attempt to fix a moment of time – man can’t do that and God hasn’t.  

 

An empty cross it only a partial answer (you could have an empty cross and a filled tomb). 

 

Even the empty tomb (and praise God it is empty) is not the whole answer.

 

Christ was seen by His disciples, He ate (Oh the glory of His glorified body) and

 

He walked up to the top of Olivet.  There, without jumping (or flying)

He went up to heaven. – That is the true picture.

NKJV – Who exchanged the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

 

The poor readers of the NKJV could get

 

the impression it is either/or.  The AV

 

is right because sadly, in this life,

 

people have multiple gods and even

 

supposed “worshipers of God” actually

 

worship man (sports, Hollywood,

 

political figures) MORE than they

 

worship God.
