Kings

No longer contained in the body of a baby; no longer confined to a cross; on that day, Jesus will come with the “fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.”

God is not only our King; he alone is supreme, the “blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords.”

It started with the manger—Jesus a helpless baby. It moved to the cross—Jesus a sacrificial Lamb. But on that final day, He will come to judge with justice.

This is the revelation of Jesus Christ. He will guide all things to their appropriate ending and then establish the new heavens and earth.

The sovereign God used Augustus to move His chosen couple from Nazareth to Bethlehem. As the Proverb says, “In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him” (Proverbs 21:1).
