Our King
W. Birch. Isaiah 33:22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us. Let the great day at Hebron when David was made king by a united nation be to us a type of that greater day when a united world with a perfect heart shall crown Jesus King of men. 1. Jesus is our King by Divine anointing. 2. Jesus received regal honours without any protest on His part. 3. When Jesus had risen from the dead and ascended into heaven there was another crowning there. 4. Though Jesus was the King of men, He refused to possess universal empire. 5. Our King has two great things to do. (1) To recover men from sin. He had to bear the penalty. Jesus recovers us also by delivering us from our inclination to sin. And by giving penitence to the human heart. (2) To make us kings like Himself. He bids every man hope in God. 6. Our King is powerful. 7. He is an active King. 8. What shall we do for our King? (W. Birch.) Parallel Verses KJV: For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us. WEB: For Yahweh is our judge. Yahweh is our lawgiver. Yahweh is our king. He will save us.
