Crown Him With Many Crowns!

They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings.
Revelation 17:14

In Revelation the Lamb of God triumphs over his enemies as King of kings.

Perhaps you find it easy to envision Jesus as the “Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29)—but hard to view him as the Lord of lords vanquishing the forces of evil.

If so, Abraham Kuyper will help you with this timely description of Christ, the victorious Lamb.

WALK WITH ABRAHAM KUYPER
“Christ is your King! Does this title of honor tend merely to have you think of Christ as in a distant hamlet the man behind his plow thinks of his sovereign in the royal residence?

“Is the kingly image of the earthly prince, applied to your Savior purely by way of comparison, a way to express his power and honor?

“The Lamb, so it is proclaimed unto you in Revelation, is not merely your Reconciliation and your Surety, not alone your Redeemer and Savior, nor yet alone your Shepherd and your Guide.

“No, the Lamb of God—and in this contrast you feel what amazes and inspires—the Lamb of God is at the same time the Lord of lords and King of kings.

“The Lamb with the crown, the high, the holy union of self-effacement and dominion—your King!”

WALK CLOSER TO GOD
Lamb and Lord. Shepherd and Savior. It’s a twin theme echoed in this familiar hymn. Use it right now to exalt your God and Guide:

Crown Him the Lord of years,

The Potentate of time;

Creator of the rolling spheres,

Ineffably sublime:

All hail, Redeemer, hail!

For Thou hast died for me:

Thy praise shall never, never fail

Throughout eternity.
