Jesus is King

"Jesus came near and said to them, "All power in Heaven and over the earth has been given to me." Matthew 28:18

"One man esteems one day more highly than another; another esteems all days alike. Let every one be thoroughly convinced in his own mind. He who regards the day as sacred, so regards it for the Master's sake; and he who eats certain food eats it for the Master's sake, for he gives thanks to God; and he who refrains from eating it refrains for the Master's sake, and he also gives thanks to God. For not one of us lives to himself, and not one dies to himself. If we live, we live to the Lord: if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this was the purpose of Christ's death on the cross and resurrection, namely that He would be Lord both of the dead and the living." Romans 14:5-9

Therefore, "I solemnly implore you, in the presence of God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who is about to judge the living and the dead, and by His Appearing and His Kingship: proclaim the Word of God, preach the Gospel, be zealous in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, encourage, with the utmost patience as a teacher. For a time is coming when they will not tolerate wholesome instruction, but, wanting to have their ears tickled, they will find a multitude of teachers to satisfy their own desires; and will turn away from listening to the truth and will turn aside to fables. But as for you, be vigilant, exercise habitual self control, and live not a self indulgent life, but do the duty of an evangelist and fully discharge the obligations of your office and ministry." 2nd Timothy 4:1-5

Jesus is King. Jesus was King twelve years ago, eight years ago, four years ago, last year and yesterday. He's King today. He's King. He's always been King. He will always be King. Praise the King. Glory to the King. Jesus is King. Period. Amen.
