Kings Under The Supreme King
What, historically, makes a ‘good’ king? Political cunning? Economic planning? Military strategy? Vision? Fairness? Justice? Kindness? Or is it, as Jesus perfectly shows us, complete submission and surrender to God? For a king to succeed at ruling, they need to submit to God’s rule. And Jesus does this to the highest degree – to the point of choosing failure and death, so we could rule under him. As people with a Christ-centred kingly ministry, we are also called to surrender and submit. It’s essential to being stewards, leaders and servants, as we are all called to be – kings under the Supreme King – ministers under Christ.
