Even if you haven’t seen the movie, you might know or be able to picture the scene where Leonardo DiCaprio shouts from the bow of the Titanic: “I’m the King of the World!” It’s become one of the “iconic” scenes in film history. In a slightly different version of the same thing, over 4000 years some kings in the ancient Mesopotamian civilizations would give themselves the title of “King of the Universe.” “It’s good to be king!” people say, for human and mostly self-centered reasons. It’s good for them. It may not be so good for others.
Our King Jesus comes to us in many different ways. But he’s so different from other kings we’ve heard about that we need to reflect on who he is and how to receive him.
Take a moment to click on the video intro above to our four-week series in December, “The King Shall Come,” and join us for Sunday worship to our great and gracious King!
Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Mark 11:9)
