A number of years ago a documentary on the rise and fall of the
infamous Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein showed video of him taking power over
elected officials. Anyone resisting his
rise in power was summarily rushed out of the room and executed. This coerced those left to pledge their
allegiance to Saddam. He ruled with a
mighty, murderous hand until Coalition Forces ended his stint as President of
Iraq.
Whereas Saddam Hussein forcibly ruled over people, our
Savior and King, Jesus Christ, does no such thing. No force is necessary in the people bowing
before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Philippians 2:5-11 speaks of every knee bowing and tongue confessing
that Jesus Christ is Lord. There is no
need to coerce because He truly is
the King and Lord of all.
How and why will every knee bow before Him? Who is this Jesus that the people of
Jerusalem celebrated as he road in on a donkey?
What does Jesus as our King mean for us today? Join us this Palm Sunday as we look into what
God’s word has to say about Jesus Christ as King and invite those you know to
hear of the life He provides.
Striving to know Christ and make him known!
