Jesus - The King Of Glory

The WORD of God records in the book of Psalm 24: 7 - 10 that Jesus is the King Of Glory

Lift up your heads, O you gates!

And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!

And the King of glory shall come in.

Who is this King of glory?

The Lord strong and mighty,

The Lord mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, O you gates!

Lift up, you everlasting doors!

And the King of glory shall come in.

Who is this King of glory?

The Lord of hosts,

He is the King of glory. Selah

The amplified version

Lift up your heads, O gates,

And be lifted up, ancient doors,

That the King of glory may come in.

Who is the King of glory?

The Lord strong and mighty,

The Lord mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, O gates,

And lift them up, ancient doors,

That the King of glory may come in.

Who is [He then] this King of glory?

The Lord of hosts,

He is the King of glory [who rules over all creation with His heavenly armies]. Selah.

Jesus who is called the king Of Glory desires to come into our lives to help us in time of trouble and He so desires to come into our lives that He is commanding the gates and the ancient doors to be opened. Jesus cannot give a command and the gates, the doors would not open. All power in Heaven and on earth belongs to Him and when He speaks things will always happen.

Jesus Himself is the door as recorded in John 10: 9 - 16

I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.

Amplified version of John 10: 9 -16

I am the Door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved [and will live forever], and will go in and out [freely], and find pasture (spiritual security). The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].

I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His [own] life for the sheep. But the hired man [who merely serves for wages], who is neither the shepherd nor the owner of the sheep, when he sees the wolf coming, deserts the flock and runs away; and the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them. The man runs because he is a hired hand [who serves only for wages] and is not concerned about the [safety of the] sheep. I am the Good Shepherd, and I know [without any doubt those who are] My own and My own know Me [and have a deep, personal relationship with Me]— even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father—and I lay down My [very own] life [sacrificing it] for the benefit of the sheep. I have other sheep [beside these] that are not of this fold. I must bring those also, and they will listen to My voice and pay attention to My call, and they will become one flock with one Shepherd.

This is who Jesus is, the door and since He is the door of the sheep ( because we belong to Him ), Then all those gates or those doors must be opened at His command. In our lives Jesus does not want us to be bound either spiritually, physically or financially. He has made a way for us by been the door and the one that wishes to help us.

When His disciples were put in prison in the book of Acts 16: 16 - 27

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days.
