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.
I believe
that God’s omnipotence is the main theme of this chapter. How many times do we hear a reference to God’s
power? He creates. He establishes. He rules.
He is the man in charge.
We also
hear Jeremiah compare God to the other gods.
Can they walk around? Can they
move? Can they do anything out of their
own power? Being fashioned by mankind,
do they even have any power of their own?
I really
believe that this chapter is all about God being the supreme king of the
universe. Nobody can match His
power. Nothing else can claim to have
been around at the creation of the world.
Nothing else can actually do anything out of its own power. He is the king. He put this world into motion and it is Him
who sustains it.
