As I was reading Matthew's account of Jesus's crucifixion, I was impressed with the reality that the sign above His head was true: Jesus is King of the Jews. And while He was publicly disgraced, violently in Jerusalem, I sense that He will ultimately be vindicated and sit in a place of honor (e.g., on a throne) in Jerusalem, the Foundation of Peace.
Who will sit on His right and left when He is vindicated? In His death, Jesus had a criminal on His left and right, but on the mount of transfiguration, Jesus was joined by Moses and Elijah. Was that a preview of Jesus's entourage when He publicly reveals His glory?
Heavenly Father, thank you for the hope of Jesus's vindication. I want to be prepared for that day. I want my whole life to be ready for that moment. Jesus, I want to honor you now as King. Holy Spirit, please help me line up everything inside my soul and every detail of my life under the reign of Jesus. I love you, and I pray in the name of Jesus.
