With Patrick Boyns.

As far back as Abraham, God spoke of kings being among his descendants, and his grandson Jacob essentially foretold the royal line of David. But first, God would give to Israel the sort of king that Israel deserved – like the kings of the nations around them – and it wasn’t a particularly pleasant experience. 

Once the people had learned what their sort of king was like, God “provided for himself a king” – a man who was “after his own heart” – he would serve God by ruling over the kingdom of Israel. His name was David. And he reigned for forty years. 

Centuries later, the angel Gabriel comes to speak with Mary, of Nazareth, to tell her that she is to have a child: “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” 

Forget the mere seventy years of this Platinum Jubilee – King Jesus will reign forever … there will be no end to his kingdom. Forget the mere seventy years of this Platinum Jubilee – King Jesus will reign forever … there will be no end to his kingdom.
