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.
God is
King. There is nothing that can come
against Him. There is nothing that can
out-maneuver Him. There is nothing that
can catch Him by surprise. There is
nothing more righteous than Him. There
is nothing that will not bow to Him.
That is
really the point of the last two-thirds of this chapter. What will stand against the King of the
universe? What thing in the midst of
human arrogance can hope to stand in the midst of God and His righteous
judgment? In the great Day of Judgment,
do we really think that we can stand in the presence of the Lord?
This
brings us back to the opening section.
There will come a day when God is King.
There will come a day when human arrogance will be put in its
place. There will come a day when we
beat our swords into plowshares. That
day will come when we acknowledge that God is King. We can actually taste that day now! God is looking for His representatives in the
world. God does want us to be the people
that brings forth His truth from Jerusalem.
He wants us to play a role in that process!
