So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 171,371

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.

    A fascinating discussion is worth comment. There’s no doubt that that you need
    to publish more on this subject matter, it might not be a taboo subject but generally
    people do not discuss such subjects. To the next! Kind regards!!

    『なにしろ近頃非常に沈んで居られるのは事実だ。 『沈んで居る？』と銀之助は聞咎（きゝとが）めて、『沈んで居るのは彼男（あのをとこ）の性質さ。
    そりやあ、もう、新平民か新平民で無いかは容貌（かほつき）で解る。 』と文平は嘲（あざけ）るやうに言つた。 』と尋常一年の教師は混返（まぜかへ）すやうにして笑つた。 』と尋常四年の教師は、腮（あご）の薄鬚（うすひげ）を掻上げ乍ら言ふ。今回は、高円宮憲仁親王の長女で、独身の女性皇族の1人である承子女王の結婚のご予定や学歴、勤務先や現在のご様子についてまとめてみました。当時の厚生省は、保健婦や高等看護婦の育成や医員教育において聖路加国際病院に期待しており、聖路加病院が医学部の附属病院になることで、厚生省との関係が失われてしまうことを懸念していたと思われる。

    Hey there! I understand this is sort of off-topic but I
    needed to ask. Does building a well-established website like yours take a large amount of
    work? I am brand new to blogging however I do
    write in my journal on a daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience and views online.
    Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips
    for brand new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!

    Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running
    off the screen in Internet explorer. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or
    something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
    The layout look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Cheers
