We saw it once again with the recent election season. Everyone wants their candidate to be the one who’s in charge. Everyone thinks their candidate is the one who is best equipped to fix their problems. Today, as we finish our Psalms of Hope sermon series, we’ll be reminded that even better than being able to proclaim that “my president” is in charge, we can rejoice in the fact that “our king reigns!” But this King is like no other king in the history of the world. You might even call him the anti-king. But today, we’ll see why following Christ as our King makes all the difference in the way we feel about our lives and our eternity!

Last week, we focused on the hope we can have in Christ, even in the face of mortality and Judgment Day. Today, we celebrate the eternal triumphant victory of all those who die trusting in Jesus as their Savior. These are not “saints” in the sense of “really good people who have done really good things so that they get recognized as saints.” These saints are saints only through the perfect righteousness and sacrifice of Christ on their behalf. And that’s the same reason why we can rejoice for all those who have fallen asleep in the Lord. They’ve received, and are now enjoying the ultimate victory that we as Christians yearn for throughout our pilgrimage here on earth. They now stand in the holy presence of God, who has made them his own! Ah, how our hearts yearn to be forever in the courts of the Lord! Better is one day there than a thousand years of the best this world could offer! How our hearts yearn within us! How joyful we can be that one day, through Christ, we will join them!
