The Worship Quote of the Week for (11/01/2005):

The Song of the Savior
Today’s WORSHIP QUOTE is another from a brand new book by Reggie Kidd. The author presents a biblical theology of song—God’s song (Zeph. 3:17), David’s song (Israel’s Sweet Singer), Jesus’ lament and victory chant, and the song of the redeemed people of God.

THE SONG OF THE SAVIOR
Here in a nutshell is the entire glorious mystery of the New Testament. By virtue of his resurrection, Jesus is alive in such a way that he can be both “with us” and “for us.” Simultaneously he is “in the midst of the assembly” and in the heavenly Jerusalem ever interceding for us. A permanent Singer has been installed. From one perspective, he sings with us in the church; from another he intercedes for us in heaven. When the church gathers in worship, earth and heaven converge. When we sing we are not singing by ourselves. There is a higher song going on above ours and a deeper song going on beneath ours.

— Reggie Kidd, from WITH ONE VOICE: DISCOVERING CHRIST’S SONG IN OUR WORSHIP, Grand Rapids: Baker Books, 2005, p. 115. ISBN: 0801065917. For more information on Dr. Kidd and WITH ONE VOICE, visit www.rts.edu/kidd.
