Today is Ascension Day, victory for Jesus as He ascends to the throneroom of heaven. From there, He is our advocate to the Father, and from there, He rules. Until His kingdom comes on earth, He is surrounded by the glory he knew before walking among us on dusty roads, a servant king among us, Emmanuel. He paid the price for our sins, which the world still commits, by the way. Just listen to the news or walk down a city street. Listen to man thinking he’s the “know it all,” the only source of wisdom.
Psalm 24
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas
and established it on the waters.
3 Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?
Who may stand in his holy place?
4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not trust in an idol
or swear by a false god.[a]
5 They will receive blessing from the Lord
and vindication from God their Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, God of Jacob.[b][c]
7 Lift up your heads, you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is he, this King of glory?
The Lord Almighty—
he is the King of glory.
