In the pagan cities of the Roman Empire where abortion, homosexuality, and state-sanctioned prostitution were not only tolerated but celebrated the early Christians were accused of treason: “These all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king, one Jesus” (Acts 17:7). They boldly proclaimed Jesus Christ as the true King of kings, God’s anointed Lord whose law stands above every human decree. By calling Him Messiah, they declared that every nation and every soul must bow to Him or face destruction, just as Isaiah 60:12 warned: “The nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish.” While the world pursued its pleasures and power, the church confronted evil with the higher law of King Jesus, and through faith, persecution, and unwavering obedience they triumphed proving that “whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world” (1 John 5:4). Today, as our culture again normalizes the same ancient sins, the same charge rings out: we follow another King. Will we share the holy boldness of those first believers, trusting the victorious Christ who alone reigns forever? #AnotherKing #OneJesus #ChristIsKing #FaithThatOvercomes
