The King of Kings Brings the Kings of the World

Isaiah’s prophesy tells his nation the result of God’s shining and their arising. He says, the Gentiles and Kings of the Earth would come to their light.

This tiny nation, despised, invaded, attacked, and driven almost to destruction, now becomes the nation that all the world seeks.

The Bible tells us that during the Millennium, the 1000-year reign of the Messiah upon the earth, all the world and its leaders will make pilgrimages to Jerusalem to see Jesus, the King of Kings.

Jesus will rule and reign on the throne of David and all the world will come to see the true, “light of the world.” They will come to hear Him teach the words of life. They will come to feel His healing touch upon their broken hearts, lives and bodies. They will come so that they might experience the deepest, truest love they could ever know. They will come to the Son of God and there will no longer be any doubt of who He is or what He can do.

They will also come to see the people of God, the light of their King has also become their light. When the world sees redeemed Israel shining brightly they will know their light is the light of Jesus.

Jesus Our King Brings The Lost

That same light, that will bring the nations to Jerusalem, will also bring people  to Christ today. If it can be seen in us, our families and our church. If it is seen that Jesus rules and reigns on the throne of our heart today, no matter how dark the sin, sorrow and shame of this world, then people will come. If it can be seen that we worship Him in word and in deed, they will come. If it can be seen that we love Jesus by keeping His commands, then people will come.

We must show the light and truth of Jesus in us. Remember what Jesus said, in Matthew 5:14-16 “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

We must not hide our light. We must be that city set on a hill.

Listen, if you’re a child of God, then the light of Jesus our Lord is already in you and now you are the light that show the lost to the Lord. We’ve just got to get out from underneath whatever bushel is covering up that light. Like the song says, “Hide it under a bushel? No. I’m going to let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine.”
