Are you ready for a bold statement? Here goes: Our God, Jesus Christ, is the King of the World. And no—not in some spiritual, theoretical, or “far off future” sense. He is currently enthroned, ruling the world with grace and truth. That’s the truth. And that truth should change everything for us. Which brings us to a second bold statement: Most Christians don’t know or don’t live like this is the case. You see, when we realize the full weight of the fact that Jesus is King—how it happened and what it means—we will never see our faith the same way again.

Here’s the fact of the matter—Jesus is King. Right here, right now. His coronation isn’t off in the distance, one day when “every knee will bow and every tongue confess.” He’s already inaugurated and initiated his Kingdom…and he did it in the most unexpected way imaginable.
