Ele É o Rei da Glória

The song 'Ele É o Rei da Glória' by Corinhos Evangélicos is a powerful declaration of the sovereignty and majesty of Jesus Christ. The lyrics emphasize the divine authority given to Jesus, stating that all power in heaven and on earth has been bestowed upon Him. This is a direct reference to the biblical passage in Matthew 28:18, where Jesus declares His supreme authority. The song celebrates God's exaltation of Jesus above all things, highlighting His unique position in the divine order.

The lyrics also delve into the mystery of Christ's incarnation and His mission on earth. Phrases like 'manifestado em carne' (manifested in flesh) and 'justificado em espírito' (justified in spirit) reflect the theological concept of Jesus being both fully human and fully divine. The song recounts His life, from being seen by angels to being preached among the Gentiles, believed in the world, and received in glory. This narrative aligns with the early Christian confession found in 1 Timothy 3:16, encapsulating the essence of the Gospel message.

The chorus of the song is a call to recognize and welcome the 'King of Glory.' It draws from Psalm 24, where the psalmist calls for the gates to lift their heads and the ancient doors to open so that the King of Glory may enter. The repeated question, 'Who is this King of Glory?' is answered with declarations of God's might and power, portraying Jesus as the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. This imagery not only underscores Jesus' divine kingship but also His role as a victorious warrior, reinforcing the theme of His ultimate triumph and glory.

The song concludes with a simple yet profound affirmation of Jesus' identity: 'Jesus, Jesus, He is the King, He is the King, He is the King of Glory.' This repetition serves to solidify the central message of the song, inviting listeners to acknowledge and worship Jesus as the exalted King of Glory.
