‘Who is the King of Glory?’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From G. F. Handel’s The Messiah, this is Who is the King of Glory?, performed by the Crown College Choir.

I heard a Bible lesson on the radio once. Read these three Psalms back-to-back: 22, 23, and 24. Try it, go ahead. Together they teach Christ’s passion, death, and triumphant resurrection.

Hmm…. What if nobody wants to open the gates, when the King of Glory is ready to come in?

I don’t think you want to be there when that happens.

‘I Know that My Redeemer Liveth’

One of the readers here, Laura, mentioned this hymn a while back, before I’d learned how to post videos and pictures. I post it now because it goes to the heart of our faith.

The music is by Handel, part of The Messiah. The words were uttered by Job, when he had lost everything and was on the brink of death himself: “I know that my redeemer liveth… Yet in my flesh shall I see Him.”

Yes! Oh, yes!
