Revelation 11:15
The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever."
While attending the performance of the Magic of Christmas at Merrill Auditorium, Allen and I heard the Hallejuah Chorus. This music and these words are a powerful proclamation of the awesomeness of our God.
The works that particularly hit me were:
The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ
The birth of Jesus changes the world. This world of powerful leaders--wars, famines, racism, persecution--is not just what we think it is. Christ can rule in this world. If those of us who seek to follow Christ, truly let him reign in our lives, how would the world be different? The world should be different. How can we make it different, in small ways, and in real signigicant ways that really do change the world?
Listen to some verision of the Hallejuah Chorus either here online or on your own recording.
