Christ is King
Author Unknown

Look at the cross. There's a beaten, humilated figure gasping for His last breath, held fast by nails through His wrist and feet, writhing in torment. Over His head there's an inscription in three languages so everyone gets the message- KING OF THE JEWS (John 19:19,20) Onlookers mocked Him- "Hail KING of the Jews!" Doubters taunted- "Savior, save yourself." (Luke 23:35-39)After all, wasn't this the man they saw born in a stable? (Matt. 2:2) Didn't they see Him grow up in little nowhere Nazerath?- A carpenter's son, no "big deal" by earthly standards.(Mark 6:3) He doesn't even have a single follower willing to stand up with Him at His moment of need.(Matt. 26:56) And look, he bled and died, just like anybody else that the brutal Romans nailed to a tree. "What kind of KING is that" you may ask. What happened three days later made the difference in this world and next. (Eph. 4:10) This humble Son of man, silenced by death, was silent no more! The One who sought no earthly kingdom was made the KING of glory! The Bible tells us, "God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow." (Phil. 2:9-11)

And now, the KING eternal, the KING immortal, the KING of KINGS desires to be the KING of your life. Will you bow your knee to the KING that died for you?
