So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 311,649

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.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what
    all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

    I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% positive.
    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    Студенческая жизнь прекрасна, пока не приходит время писать диплом, как это случилось со мной. Не стоит отчаиваться, ведь существуют компании, которые помогают с написанием и защитой диплома на высокие оценки!
    Сначала я искал информацию по теме: купить диплом образование казани, купить диплом архитектора, купить диплом образования в иркутске, купить диплом образование новосибирске, купить диплом образование самаре, а потом наткнулся на kyc-diplom.com/diplomy-po-professii/kupit-diplom-vizazhista.html

    I think everything said was actually very logical. However,
    think about this, suppose you were to write a awesome
    headline? I am not saying your content is not good, however suppose you added a post
    title that makes people desire more? I mean So…You think Jesus is king?
    – The Hus Report is a little vanilla. You
    might look at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create post headlines to get viewers to click.

    You might add a related video or a pic or two to get
    people excited about what you’ve written. Just my opinion,
    it might make your posts a little livelier.

    Hi! I understand this is kind of off-topic but I needed to ask.
    Does running a well-established blog like yours take a massive amount work?
    I am brand new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary every day.

    I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my personal
    experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have
    any suggestions or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!

    Another sweltering night here, the kind where the air itself feels like it’s weighing you down. I found myself logged
    into casino again. It’s usually my after-dark refuge when the heat finally backs
    off a little.

    Honestly, lately, the wins have been few and far between.
    My balance is looking thinner than my patience, and I’m starting
    to sweat more about the wife finding out than the actual games.
    She’s been giving me that look, you know?

    My so-called ‘mate’ – the one who’s always sticking close,
    practically looking over my shoulder – he’s always on here
    too. And the infuriating thing? He’s constantly winning big.
    Slots like slot_game_1 and slot_game_2, even that crazy aviator_game where the plane takes your money and runs.
    He even brags about his wins on slot_game_3 and slot_game_4.

    It’s like this place is playing favorites.
    Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Especially with the way he looks at my wife when she’s not looking.
    Makes a man suspicious, this heat does.

    Despite all that, and maybe it’s just stubbornness, I still find myself drawn to favorite_slot_game.

    There’s something about those sweet symbols that keeps me clicking, even when the numbers
    aren’t falling my way.

    Maybe tonight will be different. Maybe the gaming spirits will
    finally throw me a bone. Or maybe my wife will just throw me out.
    Either way, here I am, spinning again at sportsbook.

    Pros:
    Available 24/7 (perfect for my late-night sessions)
    Wide variety of games (even if some seem to favor certain people)
    They do have favorite_slot_game, which I genuinely enjoy

    Cons:
    My personal luck here has been awful recently
    Seeing him win constantly is enough to make you quit
    Starting to seriously impact my finances at home and
    relationships

    Overall: Divided. It’s a convenient way to pass the sweltering nights, but my recent experiences and observations are making me seriously question if
    it’s worth the risk. Especially with everything else going on.
