Hallelujah and Amen

Épisode 11

dimanche 29 mars 2026 • Durée 18:27

We come to the great ending of Messiah by turning to Revelation, the “Hallelujah” chorus, and “Worthy is the Lamb,” listening for how scripture opens into praise. This final episode reflects on Revelation as comfort for communities under pressure, the grandeur of Handel’s music, and the final “Amen” as trust, consent, and praise.

In this episode, we arrive at a turning point in Messiah as Handel sets Psalm 24’s question, “Who is the King of glory?” at the threshold of resurrection. Through Psalm 16, Psalm 24, and the chorus “Lift up your heads,” we reflect on Christ’s passage into glory and the Church’s confession that the risen Jesus is the King of glory.

We enter the chorus “He trusted in God” and listen for the voice of Psalm 22 beneath the mockery at the cross. Through Scripture, music, and reflection, we hear how lament keeps the conversation with God alive and how trust can sound like a voice that still speaks amid anguish.
