So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 134,828

With all this election posting on social media, one thing has caught my attention. A lot of people keep posting that Christ is King. If that is so, and I would agree with them, then the question I have is this. Do we realize what making Christ King means for our lives?

The first thing is that is Jesus is king, then he is king over all, whether they have accepted him or not.  This also means he is king over all our politics, business deals, education, and every other part of our lives. To have a king is different than a president or governor. A king has total authority to determine how we shall live. We have a choice to either submit in total to the kings will or live in adversity to him and risk the wrath of the judgment of the king. There is also the third party that gives lip service to the king but ignores his statutes. This is where I argue much of the church is today. We have sought peace from earthly kings and now believe we have elected one. So what now? Now we need to do what we should do regardless who sits in government. We need to cry out to the Lord, “We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth. But now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, that we may serve you.” (1 Sam. 12:10) “ And now behold the king whom you have chosen, for whom you have asked; behold, the Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well. 15 But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and your king.” (1 Sam. 12:13-15)

We have chosen our earthly king, but he must submit to the authority of God for things to go well with us. But all the cards are not in his lap. It is us who should study to show ourselves approved. Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians that to be entrusted with the gospel means we must speak not to please man, but to please God. If we have been transformed by the gospel ourselves, then we live by God’s standards and we need to stop trying to change them to match our standards. We must seek out the standards of God and seek to live as salt and light, different from the world and quit assimilating into it. We must seek the standards of God because they will show us the error of our ways and cause us to repent. Repentance is a beautiful thing. It brings us to God and when he pours his mercy and grace on us we have true peace. In God’s kingdom there is freedom, true freedom, the kind that comes from serving a good king. One who does not lay heavy burdens on His people. But this king calls us to go into the world with truth, not with feel goodness but with truth that can sometimes be hard. But it has to begin with each of us individually. We must apply the truth of God to our own lives. Then apply it to our families and finally our churches. That is when we will see the freedom and peace, for ourselves and for our children.

So if you believe God is truly on the throne, then seek the king’s orders. He is a king who loves, a king who died for you, so give your life to serve him in how He commands.

  44. Glass Bottle Juice Filling Line

    The Glass Bottle Juice Filling Line has brought about a significant transformation in the way juice
    is packaged and presented to consumers.

    This specialized filling line is specifically designed to handle the unique requirements of
    filling juice into glass bottles, ensuring both quality and aesthetics.

    One of the notable features of the Glass Bottle Juice Filling Line is its precision. It
    accurately measures and dispenses the exact amount of juice into each bottle, minimizing waste
    and maintaining consistency in product volume. This level
    of precision is crucial for meeting consumer expectations and regulatory standards.

    The line also incorporates advanced sealing and capping mechanisms to ensure the
    integrity and freshness of the juice. A tight seal helps prevent leaks and protects the juice from external contaminants, extending its shelf life.

    In terms of design, the Glass Bottle Juice Filling Line takes into account the fragility of glass bottles.
    Special conveyors and handling systems are employed to minimize the risk of breakage during the filling process.

    For instance, a popular juice brand that adopted this filling line was able to reduce bottle breakage
    by 70%, significantly reducing production costs and waste.

    Quality control is another critical aspect. The line
    is equipped with sensors and inspection systems that detect any defects in the
    bottles, caps, or the filling process itself. This helps in maintaining a high-quality output
    and reducing the number of faulty products.

    Moreover, the Glass Bottle Juice Filling Line offers flexibility in terms of accommodating different bottle shapes and sizes.
    This allows juice manufacturers to introduce innovative packaging designs to attract consumers and
    stand out in the market.

    A case in point is a local juice producer who used this line to launch a range of limited-edition juices in uniquely
    shaped glass bottles, which saw a significant increase
    in sales and brand recognition.

    In conclusion, the Glass Bottle Juice Filling Line is not just a piece of machinery; it’s a key driver in the success of the juice packaging industry.
    Its ability to combine precision, quality control, and design flexibility
    makes it an essential tool for meeting the ever-growing demands of consumers for high-quality, attractively packaged juice products.
