Psalm 45:15: With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought; They shall enter the King’s palace.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
There can be little doubt that this psalm was in the mind of John as he wrote Revelation 19:6–21. As he looked forward to the marriage of Christ, the Lamb, in heaven, he recalled how the bride clothed herself with acts of righteousness in preparation for Him. Then John described the royal groom going forth to battle in righteousness. Psalm 45, is typological of the greater Davidic King, Jesus Christ. 1
Living the Transformed Life
And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Isaiah 35:10
- Do you live your life knowing you are His blood-bought bride?
- Do you live your life knowing you will exit this earth at anytime, and be in His glorious presence forever?
- Do you live your life knowing you will give an account of how you used your time on earth as a servant of Your King?
Heaven is more than a hope, it’s a prepared destination awaiting our arrival.
Praise and Prayer
