So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 250,334

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.

    Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems
    with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked
    and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no
    backup. Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?

    Hey everyone! If you’re in the middle of a kitchen remodel like I was, you’re probably searching for the best countertop contractors near me. I know how overwhelming it can be to choose the right professionals for your kitchen renovation, but I’ve learned a few things that can help you make the right decision.

    First of all, it’s important to research contractors who specialize in kitchen countertops. Whether you’re looking for granite, quartz, marble, or even something more unique like recycled glass, you’ll want to hire a contractor who has experience with the material you choose. I made the mistake of hiring a contractor who wasn’t familiar with the specific type of countertop I wanted, and let me tell you, it made the process way more stressful than it needed to be.

    Next, reviews are your best friend. Before hiring a contractor, I highly recommend checking online reviews, reading client testimonials, and even asking for referrals from people you trust. A great contractor will have a proven track record of delivering quality work on time and within budget. I personally reached out to past clients for feedback, and it made all the difference.

    Another tip I have is to communicate your vision clearly. The best countertop contractors near me weren’t just skilled workers—they were also great listeners who worked with me to choose the best materials for my kitchen and helped me stay within my budget. This made the entire process much smoother and less stressful.

    Finally, don’t rush your decision! The best countertops can elevate your kitchen and last for years, so take the time to hire the right contractor. Good luck with your remodel, and I hope these tips help you find the perfect contractor for your project!

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was
    wondering 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% sure.

    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Appreciate it
