Today’s Reading: Luke 1:26-38
Today’s Verse: “He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David.” Luke 1: 32 KJV
We have all heard the phrase “child of the Most High King” or “Son of the Most High King.”
It speaks to the sonship of Jesus Christ and the adopted sonship of believers.
Jesus as the Son of the Most High highlights His divine nature. It relates to His mission. It speaks to His rightful claim to the eternal throne of David. The throne that the Lord God gave Him (Luke 1:32 KJV).
Jesus is “the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person…upholding all things by the word of his power…[who] sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high” (Hebrews 1:3 KJV).
Jesus is the name that refreshes the fainting spirits of humbled sinners.
The name is sweet to speak and sweet to hear.
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12 KJV).
As believers, through our faith in Jesus, we become children of the Most High.
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together” (Romans 8:16-17 KJV).
We are adopted into God’s family. We become heirs to His kingdom.
He will be a Father unto us, and we shall be His sons and daughters (2 Corinthians 6:18 KJV).
It is wonderful to know that we are cherished, royal members of God’s family. That we hold spiritual authority. That we will always receive His protection and provisions.
We are thankful for God’s absolute power and grace.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Father, we declare that we are Your children. Thankful that You have declared us as one of Your own. Help us to live like it. To remember our worth in You. When we feel anxious or weary, remind us that we belong to You. That we have purpose. Help us to walk in that confidence. We trust Your provisions and love.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
