Psalms 24:10
v. 10: The question comes again: Who is this King of glory?The answer is clear: The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory(Psalm 24:10 a). God is the ruler of all armies—both in heaven and on earth. He is worthy of all honor and praise.Many Christians also see a deeper meaning in these verses. The entry of the King of glory points to Jesus Christ. When Jesus ascended into heaven, He entered as the victorious King (Daniel 7:13-14 b). The gates of heaven, which once were closed to sinners (Genesis 3:24 c), are now opened to Him and to all who believe in Him (Hebrews 9:12 d). Angels themselves wonder at His glory and victory (Hebrews 1:6; Isaiah 63:1-3 e).These verses also teach us about letting Christ into our hearts. Jesus stands at the door and knocks, waiting for us to open to Him (Revelation 3:20 f). When we welcome Him, He brings His presence and blessing. He is strong and mighty—ready to save us and rule in our lives. But if we refuse, He can force His way, because He is the true King. Let us gladly welcome Him with praise, saying, Blessed is he who comes(Matthew 21:9 g), and lift up our souls to Him, as the next psalm begins: Unto you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul(Psalm 25:1 h).
