“God has promised believers in Jesus Christ not merely a Messiah-King to come but our personal admission into the glories and riches of his reign. Paul writes that believers are “heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him” (Rom. 8:17). Jesus, moreover, promises that those who conquer through the faith that he gives will “sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne” (Rev. 3:21; see also Matt. 19:28). If we learn from God’s Word how great are the promises made to us in David’s greater son, Jesus Christ, then we may be moved to sit before the Lord and pray with a humility, wonder, thanks, and praise rivaling that of King David.”  ~ Richard D.
