Jesus Chegou Primeiro

João Netto's song "Jesus Chegou Primeiro" is a powerful testament to the belief in divine intervention and the timely presence of Jesus in moments of crisis. The lyrics recount various biblical stories where God's intervention was crucial, such as the fiery furnace, Daniel in the lion's den, and the plot against Mordecai. These references serve to remind listeners that, just as God arrived in time to save these figures, He will also arrive in time to save them from their own trials and tribulations.

The recurring phrase "Jesus chegou primeiro" (Jesus arrived first) emphasizes the idea that Jesus is always ahead of any danger or challenge. This notion is reinforced through the repetition of actions that Jesus has already taken—resolving, entering, signing, stamping, winning, fighting, and determining. This repetition not only underscores the immediacy and effectiveness of Jesus' intervention but also provides a rhythmic and reassuring cadence to the song, making it a comforting anthem for believers.

The song also touches on the theme of spiritual warfare, with references to traps and snares set by the enemy. However, the message remains clear: no matter what schemes are devised, Jesus will always arrive first to dismantle them. This provides a sense of security and peace to the listener, reinforcing the belief that divine protection is always present. The song's energetic and repetitive structure mirrors the unwavering faith and confidence in Jesus' timely intervention, making it a powerful piece of worship and encouragement.
