There are only two reactions possible for this occurance: fear or joy. The reaction is dependent on whether one knows the King personally or not. All know His absolute power. All are subject to Him. This King, nothing can be hidden from.
Who has cause to fear Him? There are those who have slandered Him: denigrated Him. Some have used their strength to work against His expressly stated will and purpose. The evidence backing His claims to be the ultimate authority have been made public and have always been transparent to everyone. Anyone arrogantly dismissing the facts, as just so much garbage, has ample cause for trepidation. Vengeance is the province of the King, and this One surpasses them all.
Who will rejoice at the sight of His face? Only those who have already made their own personal surrender to His leadership, and live to work His will. Only these have personal experience of His mercy, His kind generosity, His love. They have come to know His heart. He is no suprise, no unknown question. What He is, is security and blessing beyond compare! His name is Jesus, the Righteous King!
