Discipleship Focus: King
- King: This is the pinnacle of the Kingdom Triangle. When we look towards God’s position in the universe, we acknowledge that He is an omnipotent king. Authority comes from Him. Power comes through His authority. He is looking for representatives for His kingdom.
King. It is a word that
means the supreme authority in a land.
You know what you find in most king’s courts? You find people who wait to hear directives
from the king and who act upon them. You
don’t find many people openly questioning the king. You don’t find many people telling the king
they are wrong. You don’t find many
people telling the king that they’d rather just do things their own way.
The thing that I love about this chapter is that it demonstrates
the kingship of God. God begins to tell
Moses about the place in which He will be worshipped. God doesn’t ask Moses what He would
like. God doesn’t take a survey of the
people and ask what will enable them to enter into His presence better.
No, God gives the marching orders.
God tells Moses what needs to happen.
God is the King. He empowers
Moses, not the other way around. Moses
serves the King, not the other way around.
Authority comes from God. We
enter in His presence and need to remember that.
