| “ The Lord will be king over the whole earth.” |
| —Zechariah 14:9a |
When I was a child, I very much liked having something exciting to which I could look forward. Perhaps it was a special holiday. Or, maybe it was a time of vacation. Or, perhaps it was a visit from some special friends or relatives. Whatever the event, I would mark it on the calendar. Then, every day I would look at that mark and imagine how much fun that event would be.
As believers, we can look forward to that glorious day when our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, will return. The Prophet wrote these words in Zechariah 14:9:
The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.
A great day is coming. It’s a day to which we can look forward. We won’t be able to mark it on a calendar. But, we can still look forward with eager anticipation. On that day, we will celebrate as never before. Our Great King will have returned. His Name will be the only name that matters.
