The King of Kings and Lord of Lords

The Christ King of Kings and Lord of Lords

We talk a lot about kingdoms. But you cannot have a kingdom without a king. Who is the king, not just of our private hearts, but the entire world? From the beginning, God’s design was to be the people’s King. There is no other solution; no other authority is worthy. Jesus is the King and has been given all authority over creation, in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18). The authority does not solely lie within the past (tradition) or the future (progress) or a strongman leader who will save us. Rather, Jesus is the authority. Only Jesus can save us, and he has already done so through the cross. It is only when we stop looking to other authorities, and even to ourselves as authorities, and recognize Jesus as the authority of our lives, that the problems of the world abate, and we discover peace. Jesus is clear: the Kingdom of God is not found in the formation of political systems and in the exercise of human power, no matter how noble the intent. The Kingdom of God is only found in the presence of God and is only built by Jesus (Matt 16:18). Jesus is the only good, true, and beautiful source of authority.
