Looking down at a Christmas manger and looking upon the quiet, little baby lying there, I can’t help but question, “Are you really a king?”
He doesn’t seem to fit my concept of one.
Aren’t kings conquerors? Mighty, powerful lords, surrounded by wealth, soldiers, and servants? Little Jesus doesn’t fit this description of a king. Then what makes him a king?
Maybe he comes to reveal a true kingship.
Go before him and ask him for yourself: “Are you a king?”
This understanding is a life changing mystery.
It has been for me.
