DAY 60

He is King of kings and Lord of lords!

The Lamb is proclaimed to be the overcomer of His enemies because He is the King of kings and Lord of lords…

Revelation 17:14 They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.

1 Timothy 6:15-16 which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.

Even we who live in the western world should be able to appreciate this title for Jesus. Even though we don’t have an earthly king here, we have had enough exposure throughout history via study and media to understand. We may not grasp this as much in modern times as they did back in the New Testament times, but we are about to find out!!

It is written on His robe in Heaven, and…on His thigh! 

Revelation 19:16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

In the original Greek it is written in all capital letters. The emphasis is that He rules over everything! He rules over every earthly king and over everything that earthly kings think they rule over! His power and plan are supreme!

We can trust that every chaotic detail in our lives, still falls under His reign. All of the things in our lives that are out of our control still fall under His reign.

Yes, sometimes we create that chaos. He chose to give us free will instead of forcing us to choose Him. He gives us the freedom to choose to love Him back, or to love ourselves/the world/creation instead of the Creator. Sometimes we create our own chaos by the choices we make and we certainly pay the consequences, but that chaos is still not out from under His reign.

We can trust Him with every detail of our future, the known and the unknown, the good and the hard times, for He is KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS! He is ruler over all and someday we will watch as He finishes off the darkness!

Revelation 19:14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 

That’s us! We get to go with Him. Go back and read Revelation 19:11-21. He truly is King of kings and Lord of lords and rules over everything! There is nothing in all of creation that can defeat Him and nothing that doesn’t answer to Him! It is no wonder that is written on His robe in Heaven!

Jesus, King of kings and Lord of lords, help me to live my life to honor you. Help me to remember this is who you are so that I give you the proper respect, honor, and glory that you deserve. Remind me that you are THE King so that I worship you appropriately and forgive me for not treating you the way you deserve. Help me to do better. Thank you for your grace and mercy and patience!
