So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 140,819

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.

    Hey everyone!

    I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Samahan and its amazing herbal tea. I first discovered Samahan a few years ago when I was feeling under the weather. A friend recommended it, and I was curious to give it a try.

    Samahan is an herbal blend from Sri Lanka, known for its unique combination of spices and herbs. The first time I brewed a cup, I was hit with this warm, comforting aroma that immediately made me feel better. It contains a mix of ingredients like ginger, cinnamon, and pepper, which not only taste great but also have soothing properties.

    What I love most about Samahan tea is its versatility. I drink it when I’m feeling sick, but I also enjoy it as a cozy drink on chilly evenings. It has a bit of spice, which gives it a kick that really warms you up from the inside. Plus, it’s caffeine-free, so I can enjoy it anytime without worrying about staying up too late.

    Another benefit I’ve noticed is its ability to help with digestion. After a heavy meal, sipping on Samahan really helps settle my stomach. It feels like a natural remedy that just works, and I appreciate that it’s made from all-natural ingredients.

    Overall, I highly recommend giving Samahan tea a try. Whether you’re looking for a soothing drink when you’re under the weather or just want something warm and comforting, it’s definitely worth it. It’s become a staple in my pantry, and I can’t imagine my routine without it. Have any of you tried it? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

    An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment. I do think that you should publish more on this
    topic, it may not be a taboo matter but usually folks don’t speak about
    these subjects. To the next! Cheers!!

    hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months
    of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I in finding this topic to be really one thing that I feel I’d by no means understand.

    It sort of feels too complex and very broad for me.
    I’m taking a look ahead on your subsequent put up, I will attempt to get the cling of it!

    When I look at your blog site in Safari, it
    looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some
    overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, awesome blog!
