Este Es El Reino
Elevation Worship
The Beatitudes and the Promise of the Kingdom
“Este Es El Reino” by Elevation Worship is a powerful song that draws heavily from the Beatitudes, a series of blessings from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount in the Bible. The lyrics emphasize the virtues and promises associated with being part of the Kingdom of Heaven. The song begins by blessing the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the humble, and those who hunger and thirst for justice, promising them fulfillment and inheritance in the Kingdom of Heaven. This reflects a deep spiritual message that aligns with Christian teachings about humility, compassion, and righteousness.
The chorus, “Este es el reino, este es el reino del cielo,” reinforces the idea that these blessings are part of the divine kingdom. The repetition of “Pide y lo hará” (Ask and it will be done) and “Busca y encontrarás” (Seek and you will find) highlights the importance of faith and trust in God's provision. This part of the song encourages believers to actively seek God's kingdom and trust in His promises, reinforcing the idea that the Kingdom of Heaven is accessible to those who live by these virtues.
The song also blesses the compassionate, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and those persecuted for righteousness, promising them grace, the vision of God, and the title of children of God. This not only provides comfort and hope to believers but also calls them to embody these qualities in their daily lives. The closing lines, “Llama y la puerta se abre ya” (Knock and the door will be opened), serve as a reminder of the accessibility and openness of God's kingdom to those who seek it earnestly. Elevation Worship’s musical style, known for its contemporary Christian worship, enhances the spiritual and emotional impact of these profound biblical messages.
