On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 19:16
When I think of a king or someone in great authority, I think of them as being demanding. Making you follow the rules and obey. Making you be submissive.
This is not the case with Christ and his kingship. He calls us and wants us, but will not force us to come to him. God has given him power over all the earth. Tonight we talked about that not just being power over people, but also nature, disease, and death. He wants to be THE ruler of our hearts. We are called to bring others to his kingdom by letting him shine through us to others.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33
