ZACHARY'S NOTES:
Stanza 1 // This is a prayer that the reign or kingdom of God would spread throughout the earth. The stanzas to follow make clear this is God’s work - not our own. We do not pray to ourselves, but to God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is God - our “Creator” - who calls us by name and bestows the “gifts” of “heaven.”
Stanza 2 // This stanza reminds us of the insignificance with which we treated our Lord, the One we nailed to the cross to bear the price of our rebellion. Yet, this seemingly insignificant death is “our Redeemer’s” grace [or favor] for sinners - that we might be “saved.”
Stanza 3 // It is the Holy Spirit who is not only given to “guide to heaven” but to “will and do” the kingdom [or faith] Christ comes to bring. As this weekend’s parable points out, we do not know how faith [or the Holy Spirit] works - this is God’s doing, and God’s will that faith be given to you.
Stanza 4 // When God is “Lord of [the] harvest” it means God is at work in the most insignificant things of life to give His promise. By water and Word, bread and wine, and the spoken, perfect, Word of a sinner, God’s “greatest” gift is given! The “gathering nations all” see Christ’s “light” and hear His “call.”
