“Jesus Is Your King”
Christ’s kingdom is a spiritual kingdom in the hearts of people.
At one point in Jesus’ trial, the leaders of Israel took him to Herod’s palace where the Roman Governor, Pilate, was staying. They did not understand that by handing Jesus over to unbelievers, they, as a nation, were rejecting their Messiah
and were offering him to the Gentiles.
Pilate came out to meet the Jewish delegation that had brought Jesus and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”
They evaded his question by answering, “If he were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.”
Pilate asked his soldiers to bring him the prisoner. When Jesus was standing before him, he asked, “Are you king of the Jews?”
Jesus admitted that he was guilty of the charge, but in such a way that he was innocent. How can that be? It’s because his kingdom is not of this world. If it were of this world, his servants would fight.
Christ’s kingdom is a spiritual kingdom in the hearts of people, a kingdom that will one day have citizens from every nation on Earth. Yes, Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Jesus still is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Find a peaceful place in which to walk and accept Jesus again as the Lord of your life. Are there any corners of your life that you must still hand over to his kingdom?
