The History of the Hymn -Rejoice the Lord is King

Paul’s recommendation to the congregation at Philippi, “Celebrate in the Ruler continually; again I will rehash, Cheer,” motivated Charles Wesley to make this melody (Philippians 4:4).

Paul was an odd contender for delight since his Christian life was laborious.

Individuals had a go at all that to stop him as he approached spreading the gospel. They whipped him. He got the forty lashes that had the ability to kill a man multiple times.

Individuals stoned him and deserted him. He was engaged with a wreck (see 2 Corinthians 11:23-28).

In any case, he comprehended what Jesus needed to give individuals, and he was appreciative that God had picked him to show others Jesus. Paul was a happy Christian who encouraged different Christians to do likewise.

Charles and his sibling, John Wesley, were moreover startling possibility for euphoria. Their lives were likewise troublesome.

They encountered wild aggression as they approached spreading the gospel. On one event, a group almost wrecked their lodgings and drove their ponies into a lake. Individuals they changed over were regularly tortured and tormented.

They, then again, tracked down tremendous fulfillment in serving Christ and urged different Christians to do likewise. “Cheer, the Master is Above all else!” composed Charles Wesley. “Your Master and Lord love” — words from his happy life

There might be minutes when we, as well, will seem, by all accounts, to be doubtful possibility for delight. A large portion of us will confront hardships sooner or later in our lives; it’s simply a piece of life.

We can, notwithstanding, pick whether we need to be grumpy Christians or glad Christians. Assuming we decide to be merry even with affliction, we will find that euphoria is its own approval — that we can be blissful in spite of difficulty.

We will likewise find that our bliss is an advantage to other people, since genuine delight spreads euphoria.

“Light up where you are!” yelled an old Sunday school song. We will ease up the alcove where we are assuming we decide to be merry Christians

. Then, at that point, we won’t just be living in the light, yet we will likewise be carrying light into the existences of others.
