What does the Bible say about Jesus As King?
Who is the king of your life? Pause and reflect on this question. Is it money? Your career? Or is it Jesus Christ? The Bible declares that Jesus is the ‘King of Kings and Lord of Lords’—there is no one higher, no one greater. He reigns supreme over all kings and all creation. Our Champion, He created everything through Himself and for Himself. It’s all about the King, and He deserves our daily worship.
Matthew 28:18 states that all authority in heaven and on earth belongs to Him, and Philippians 2:9-11 promises that every knee will bow to His name. Nothing can stand against Him. Our King made a way when there was none, conquering sin and death. So, let me ask again: Is Christ your king? What does your life reflect? Are you trusting in Him alone for salvation? Are you growing in fellowship with Him and striving to live a life that pleases Him because He saved you? He is worthy of our entire being. Let’s praise the King.
