Jesus Christ Is King

Though the earth is shaken and the mountains be moved into the sea. Though the peoples of the earth dwell in utter darkness and continue to rebel in sin. Jesus Christ is the King. He shines bright and rules supreme over all creation. His everlasting position will stand firm forevermore.

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom also He created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power. Hebrews 1:1-3

Jesus came to be so much more than just any baby born in a manager. But to be the King. Now He is the King of kings and Lord of lords, the bread of life, the prince of peace, the light of the world, and the Word of God. King Jesus.

In the beginning was the Word(Jesus), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:1-5

He came so that all mankind would have the opportunity to be saved so that they could be freed of all the bonds that hold them fast by the deceitfulness of the devil. He suffered, died, and rose again so their spirits and souls may be freed through repentance to glorify the God of Heaven.

He came to give sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, and life to the dead in spirit. To revive the dead to life, even to everlasting life, to all those who believe in Jesus Christ. To everyone who repents and turns from their sins. To those who chose to abandon all else to follow and obey His every command. To those He calls the sons of God.

But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12-13

Jesus is God who took on the lowly form of a baby. He came to be a servant to all and a perfect sacrifice to pay the punishment we all deserve for our sins. When His time on earth was finished, He ascended to Heaven and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God in Heaven. No longer to be subservient to anyone but the King of all.

But of the Son, He says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore, God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.” Hebrews 1:8-9

Now, a time is set for Him to return to the earth and judge all mankind in righteousness. He will divide the good from the bad and pour out the Lord’s righteous wrath on all those who refuse to turn from their wicked ways. That time is drawing very close. He will not be like a lamb before that was led willingly to slaughter. He will not come as a sacrifice to be trampled upon.

But He will come as a mighty King. A valiant warrior. A magnificent and powerful Lord, to rule and reign with an iron staff to destroy the wicked in everlasting punishment. He is also coming with great rewards for righteous people who have followed and obeyed His Word with their valiant deeds. After that time, He will rule and reign over all the earth forevermore.

Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of Him. Even so. Amen. “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:7-8

May you turn your face toward this great King of kings, Jesus Christ the Lord. May you repent of all your sins and rebellions. May you forever put your faith and trust in this mighty King Jesus. May you forever follow and obey His every command so that you also may enjoy His love, compassion, mercy, grace, and reward He is bringing to those who hear and obey.

May your heart be filled with great joy, love, and peace on this beautiful day the Lord has made. May the Lord fill your heart with all these things and change your soul from darkness to light. May you cry out in repentance and turn from sin. May you walk in the boldness and the power of His Spirit to proclaim His soul-saving Gospel until He comes again. May He find you faithful and obedient on that great and awesome day.

“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” Revelation 22:12-13

Rejoice and be very glad that your Savior Jesus Christ rules and reigns as King of kings and Lord of lords, whose rule will never come to an end.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone. You have multiplied the nation; you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as they are glad when they divide the spoil.

For the yoke of His burden and the staff for His shoulder, the rod of His oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian. For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire.

For to us, a child is born, to us, a son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and of peace, there will be no end, on the throne of David and over His kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this. Isaiah 9:2-7
