King
Zechariah 14:9 ESV
And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be one and his name one.
Clearly, this verse hasn't been fulfilled yet. Even as processing Christians, we must admit that even we don't always live like the Lord is king over our lives. Thankfully, a day is coming when he will establish his rule and reign on earth as it is in heaven.
Zechariah was around before the advent of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet he was looking forward to the arrival of king Jesus. What is Jesus's message in a nutshell? 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand'.
Who is the king of heaven? It's the Lord Jesus. Having died, risen and ascended, he's at the right hand of the Father on the throne of heaven.
When Jesus returns, he will call those who trust in him to be with him for eternity. The moment we believe in him, we get to become part of his kingdom. Today is the day of salvation.
'Our Lord and King, may we ever live for you. Please return soon to call us home. For your honour and praise we pray, amen'
