Don't Fear! Jesus is the King of Glory
Our Text here today is found in Psalm 24. This is the last Psalm what has become to be known as the Shepherd Psalm Trilogy. We get these glimpses of Jesus as our Shepherd in different roles as they are described for us in Psalm 22,23,24. In Psalm 22 we saw Jesus as the suffering savior and we need not fear because Jesus already suffered the curse of sin for us. He is the shepherd who laid down his life for the sheep. In Psalm 23 we saw Jesus as the guiding shepherd and we need not fear because it is Christ who gives us everything we need and it is Hi who guides His sheep. Psalm 24 is the last of the trilogy of these three Psalms. We see Jesus here as the Chief shepherd He is the king of glory who rules and reigns with all authority and power. It is only when we get an accurate view of who Christ is that fear, doubt, and faithlessness succumb to His ruling presence in our hearts.

Fear is something that we all face in life. When fear comes does God speak? What hope is there for those who are fearful? We find that God's Word not only speaks but it also brings hope and peace when we are fearful.
