Christ's Coronation Day

[Thompson, Darryl]

Christ's Coronation Day
 
     Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and
true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Rev. 15:3  

     In that day the redeemed will shine forth in the glory of the
Father and His Son. The angels of heaven, touching their golden harps,
will welcome the King, and those who are the trophies of His
victory--those who have been washed and made white in the blood of the
Lamb. A song of triumph will peal forth, filling all heaven. Christ has
conquered. He enters the heavenly courts accompanied by His redeemed
ones, the witnesses that His mission of suffering and sacrifice has not
been in vain.  

     Far above the city, upon a foundation of burnished gold, is a
throne, high and lifted up. Upon this throne sits the Son of God, and
around Him are the subjects of His kingdom. The power and majesty of
Christ no language can describe, no pen portray. The glory of the
Eternal Father is enshrouding His Son. The brightness of His presence
fills the city of God and flows out beyond the gates, flooding the whole
earth with its radiance.  

     Nearest the throne are those who were once zealous in the cause of
Satan, but who, plucked as brands from the burning, have followed their
Saviour with deep, intense devotion. Next are those who perfected
Christian characters in the midst of falsehood and infidelity, those who
honored the law of God when the Christian world declared it void, and
the millions of all ages who were martyred for their faith. And beyond
is the "great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and
kindreds, and people, and tongues, . . . before the throne, and before
the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands." Their
warfare is ended, their victory won. They have run the race and reached
the prize. . . .  

     In the presence of the assembled inhabitants of earth and heaven
the final coronation of the Son of God takes place.
