Christ the King

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Christ the King. Which in his times he shall show who is the blest and only potentate, the king of kings and lord of lords. verse Timothy six fifteen. Of the many descriptive titles of the Lord Jesus Christ, perhaps the most significant is that of King, because this speaks of his universal dominion.

The day is coming when every knee should bow of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. First of all, since he created all things, he is the king of creation. For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth, and strength of the hills is His also. The sea is his, and he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.

In a special sense, of course, he is the king of the Jews. He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. He is also our King of redemption, having set us free from the kingdom of the Wicked One. He hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son, in whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. There is a day coming in which all the kings of the earth shall unite against him.

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them. For he is Lord of Lords and King of kings, and they that are with him are called and chosen and faithful. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of kings and lord of lords. Until then, let us serve him as king and submit to him as lord.
