Reflecting on the Easter story, Graham Kenrick’s song The Servant King came to mind.
Jesus is the Servant King. He came to show the way, to serve, and not to be served, and yet He is the One ‘who flung the stars into space’.
The words of this song bring a magnified perspective of Jesus. I hope your will ‘see’ it too as you read these beautiful words of worship this Easter season.
The Servant King
From heaven You came a helpless babe
Entered our world, Your glory veiled
Not to be served, but to serve
And give Your life that we might live.
(Chorus)
This is our God, the Servant King
He calls us now to follow Him
To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to the Servant King.
There in the garden of tears,
My heavy load He chose to bear,
His heart with sorrow was torn,
Yet not My will but Yours He said
Come see His hands and His feet
The scars that speak of sacrifice
Hands that flung stars into space
to cruel nails surrendered
So let us learn how to serve
And in our lives enthrone Him
Each others needs to prefer
For it is Christ we’re serving.
The Easter story is a story of God’s love, almost unfathomable. It is for all mankind and for all generations.
It brings us in touch with suffering and sorrow, and softens hard hearts.
It breaks the chains of guilt and shame and offers healing, wholeness and the abundant life.
Isaiah 53:5 releases the understanding and meaning of the Cross of Christ, and by faith, it is ours.
But because of our sins he was wounded,
beaten because of the evil we did
We are healed by the punishment he suffered
made whole by the blows he received.
