Unwrapping the Majesty of Jesus: The Indescribable Gift

As the Advent season begins, we reflect on the indescribable gift of Jesus Christ. Like every precious gift, Jesus comes "wrapped"—not in glittering paper but in divine attributes that reveal His glory. This week, we start by unwrapping His majesty, as declared in Psalm 93:1-2:

“The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The Lord is clothed, He has girded Himself with strength. Surely the world is established, so that it cannot be moved. Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting.”

Dressed to Reign

Psalm 93 calls us to see Jesus as a King clothed in majesty, lifted high above all creation. The Hebrew word for majesty, gay-oof, means exalted, emphasizing His rightful authority. Unlike earthly rulers who fail, Jesus is the perfect King—eternal, holy, and sovereign.

Do we see Him as King in our lives? His lordship calls for submission. Isaiah’s vision of the Lord “high and lifted up” (Isaiah 6:1-5) led to a profound awareness of God’s holiness and Isaiah’s own unworthiness. Similarly, recognizing Christ’s authority should lead us to surrender every area of our lives to Him.

Dressed in Power

Jesus is not only majestic but mighty, “girded with strength” (Psalm 93:1). His strength is not borrowed—it is inherent, rooted in His divine nature. This strength equips Him to reign and sustain creation. Isaiah 55:11 reminds us that God’s word, filled with power, always accomplishes His purpose.

For believers, His strength becomes our defense and weapon in spiritual battles. Paul reminds us to “put on the whole armor of God” (Ephesians 6:10-17) so we can stand firm against evil.

Designed for Durability

Finally, Psalm 93 celebrates the eternal foundation of God's throne and creation. Unlike the fleeting things of this world, His kingdom is unshakable. Our lives, though marked by change and decay, are anchored in His eternal purposes.

Through Jesus, we are promised durability—not just survival on this earth but eternal life with Him. His throne of grace invites us to come boldly, receiving mercy and finding help in every need (Hebrews 4:16).

A Gift Worthy of Worship

As we unwrap Jesus’ majesty this Advent, we are reminded that He is not just the baby in the manger but the reigning King, the Savior clothed in power and glory. This indescribable gift deserves our deepest gratitude and highest praise.

Let this Advent season inspire us to exalt Him as Lord of lords and King of kings, submitting to His reign and celebrating His unchanging greatness.

“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” (2 Corinthians 9:15).
