Psalm 24: Something's Coming!

Psalm 24 is a traditional reading for Jesus' triumphal entry celebrated on Palm Sunday.  Besides being a beautiful song in its own right, it is full of messianic overtones.  The world had better get ready, David says, because Something's Coming.  Or, more precisely, Someone!

Who is this Someone?  Who is this King of Glory making His way to the city of Jerusalem?  It is none other than the Lord Himself.  As He approaches, we must prepare to receive Him.  This was just as true in David's day, and in Christ's day, as it is in ours. 

After all, the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it.  It's God's world - we're just living in it!
