All Hail Our King

Scripture: John 18:37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate.
Jesus answered, “You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”

Observation: When I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior I also received Him as my King and as my King I must obey His commands. Unlike an earthly king I selected Jesus to rule in my life. I am on the side of truth and only Jesus has that truth. Each day I must bow down before my King and commit myself to His sovereign leadership in my life. Jesus must not be a secret ruler, but all that know me should know who I serve and why.

Application: Jesus has made it clear what the laws are and His will. He made it clear in His word and how He lived His life on earth. I have no excuses of being ignorant of the law and as the laws here on earth come with a penalty if not obeyed, so are God’s law. I need to obey and adhere to all I know that is right and give my King all the glory and praise.

Prayer: Your majesty your servant comes before wanting an audience before your throne. I’m here only to serve and obey your commands. Help me live each day with you as my ruler. Help me stay on the path you have chosen for me and that when I enter into your heavenly kingdom that you will be able to welcome me with open arms.
