I read a post by a blogger I follow about how blessed she felt to listen to someone sing a worship song in Spanish. Dawn’s blog is drawingclosertochrist.com and her post was God’s Love Speaks Through Every Language.
Her post got me to thinking about the various languages I have had the privilege of worshiping with starting in Romania in both Romanian and Turkish, in France in French, in Mexico in Spanish, in Brazil in Portuguese, and in my home city in Arabic, Karen, Spanish, Ukranian, Zomi, Korean, Chinese, Nuer, and Vietnamese.These experiences have broadened my understanding of how God’s love and kingdom spans across all cultures.
It also causes me to reflect on what Hebrews 12 says about Jesus:
“For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God”
This Easter week, I am reflecting on the meaning of that passage. Jesus scorned the shame of the cross but he endured it because of the joy set before him. Yes, that includes being at the right hand of God the Father in heaven, but he came from there.
The other part of that joy was having his most cherished creation, US, being able to be with him in heaven because of his death on the cross and his resurrection. The joy he would experience from having people from all cultures expressing their love for him.
I wanted to share this video of Kari Jobe’s Revelation song with you. She does not enter it until the end. I hope you watch it as singers from multiple languages sing praises to Jesus expressing their love. It is a glimpse of the worship we can experience in heaven one day as people from every language stand before Jesus on his throne. I hope this video blesses you as much as it blessed me.
Thank you for reading. God Bless
