"They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with Him will be His called, chosen and faithful followers."
Revelation 17:14
There is no other King like Jesus. He rules over all other kings, humans, animals: all of creation. He isn't a ruthless King, but loving, gentle and just. He is the best King we could ever ask for. One who laid down His life to pay the price His subjects couldn't. Israel reject Him time and time again. People still reject Him.
This year, I am studying People of the Promised land with BSF, and we are in the second of 1 Samuel studying David. David was chosen and anointed by God and went to the palace, not as king but as a servant of Saul (1 Samuel 16-17). His rightful place was on the throne but he humbly served until it was God's timing. Isn't this a picture of Jesus? He gave up His throne in Heaven to come here and humbly serve us until it was God's timing.

Just because He is a King doesn't mean that He is not approachable. He can be King of your heart if you let Him in! So this year when you look at that manger scene, will you see the babe as a King? The One who holds the power to open the scroll of God (Revelation 5:5). The One who had all the glory in Heaven, yet left it so that He could save you. How will you worship Him as the days are dwindling until Christmas Day? What words of praise will you savor these next couple of days as you reflect on His majesty and grace?
In His Love,
A
