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.
Zechariah
2 deals primarily with the message of return to the exiles. Zechariah delivers a message from God that tells
them to arise and come from the nation in the north. He tells them to come home from dwelling
among the nations. He reminds them that
they are the people of the Lord.
Zechariah
also reminds them that they are in the kingdom of the north because it was God’s
decree. God sent them into exile. God may be calling them back, but it was at
God’s hand that they were sent under the oppression of the nations in the first
place.
Where
does this bring us? God is truly king
over the world and especially over His people.
God’s decrees are followed. When
God declared something to happen, it happens.
God sent His people into captivity.
They went. He now calls them out
of captivity and invites them home. He
is the king.
