He rules by sovereign authority.

And in that authority, he has elevated his son to his right hand and at his ascension gave him the crown of his coronation, making him king.

Now, in his earthly ministry,

That king was a servant, a suffering servant, who subjected himself to the whole law of God in a way that most monarchs never, ever tried to do.

They think they're above the law.

They make the laws.

They say, so let it be said, so let it be done, and they don't feel any compunction to have to be obedient to law.

But Jesus is first the obedient servant before he is God.

crowned as the king of the kings.

And that has a burden for us, that I am, as a Christian, a subject of my earthly king.

And it is my duty to do everything in my power to please the one who rules over me and over this world.

You know, I think the lack of contentment is one of the great sins of people and even in the Christian world.
