King of Kings

King of Kings

Jesus has many titles, but one stands above the rest: “On His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords” (Revelation 19:16). Pause on that. He is not merely a king. He is King over every king. We live in a world of “small gods” – managers, politicians, rulers. Authority can look like power, but it is positional. As Jesus said to Pilate, “You would have no power over Me if it were not given to you from above” (John 19:11). Real power belongs to God, and Revelation shows that this authority rests with Jesus. “King of kings” speaks to authority over rulers. Every empire and leader governs only by permission. Their rule is temporary. His is not. “Lord of lords” goes deeper, speaking of allegiance. Whatever you think owns you – spiritual, cultural, or personal – Jesus outranks it. Together, these titles cover all power: thrones and hearts. Yet His kingship is unexpected. Born in a manger. Riding a donkey. Washing feet. Wearing thorns. His kingdom is upside down: power through humility, victory through sacrifice. The Child in the manger is the King on the throne. The Lamb who was slain is the Lion who reigns. The King of kings rules over nations, eternity, and over you. (Craig B) Open Bible – https://bit.ly/Rev19v16, bit.ly/Joh19v11
