Coming King

Luke 1:32-33 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Today, as I was reading through the Christmas story in Luke these two verses caught my attention.  We are still looking for the promise of Jesus sitting on the throne of his father David in fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant.  Jesus shall yet rule on the earth and of his kingdom there shall be no end. We look forward to the day that the angel declares, "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." (Rev. 11:15)
