'King
of the Jews' (Matthew 2:2). Jesus came from the Jews. He came for 'all nations' (Matthew 28:19). He is the 'King of kings' (Revelation 17:14; Revelation 19:16). Here on
earth, we are learning 'to worship Him' (Matthew 2:2). We are being prepared for
heavenly worship (Revelation 7:9-12): 'Kings and queens and beggarmen,
presidents and servants, the people of all nations, will gather on that
day. We will kneel before the King. None will be observers. We will lift
our voices. Together, we will say, "He is the King and He will reign
forever. He is the King and we will sing His praise. The King of kings
and Lord of lords forever, Jesus, He is the King. Hallelujah to the
King, He is our salvation. Master of the universe, King of all
creation"!' Let 'Jesus...take the highest honour'. Let us 'glorify the
King of kings' (Songs of Fellowship, 302, 590).
What God did for His people, Israel, was very great. There is a striking contrast between their slavery in Egypt and their abundance in the promised land. God had multiplied His blessing upon them, just as Jesus did when He turned water into wine (John 2:1-11). If the blessing is to be maintained and increased, we must honour the Lord. We must cry to Him for blessing: "Hear my prayer, O God, listen to the words of my mouth." We must call upon Him with faith: "Surely God is my help; the Lord is the One who sustains me" (Psalm 54:2,4).
