Jesus the King

The Bible tells us of some Magi who came looking for the One who was born as the King of the Jews. Jesus is the King of the Jews. He is the descendant of David who would rule over Israel. But Jesus is more than the King of the Jews. Jesus is the King of kings.

Jesus rules over all. He is a King who is the Judge of the world. Every single person is accountable to Jesus the King.

Those who fail to submit to the King will eventually experience His wrath and judgment. This is what we all deserve because of sin.

However, Jesus is a merciful King who will pardon all who confess Him as Lord. He can do this because He Himself paid the penalty that we deserve.

So, do you acknowledge Christ as King? He is whether or not you ever confess Him, but every knee will eventually bow to the King of kings.

Pastor Bruce,
I just wanted to say "Thanks" for your dedication to God, the preaching/teaching of His word, and the daily/weekly/yearly Shepherding of the flock. I know the Holy Spirit keeps you encouraged, but as one of the local sheep you consistently encourage me and my family. May the Lord continue to strengthen and bless you, as you guide us in His word through the Holy Spirit.
