Who Is This King?

Psalm 24 is presented as a profound revelation of Jesus Christ as the sovereign Creator, redeeming Savior, and triumphant King, culminating in His Palm Sunday triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The passage unfolds in three movements: first, affirming God's universal sovereignty as Creator, who owns all things and demands reverent worship; second, revealing that only those cleansed by faith in Christ—whose righteousness is not earned but received—can approach His holy presence; and third, proclaiming Christ as the King of glory, whose victory over sin, death, and Satan is secured through His crucifixion and resurrection, making Him worthy of worship. The sermon emphasizes that true worship arises not from performance but from grace, as believers are invited to open their hearts to Christ, the only one who meets the standard of clean hands and pure heart, and who now reigns in heaven as the Lord of hosts. The call is urgent: to recognize Jesus not merely as a historical figure or temporary king, but as the eternal, conquering Lord who demands total allegiance and offers eternal life to all who receive Him by faith.
