King of the Jews
One Day Everyone Will Bow Before the King of the Jews
What do you think about Jesus, the King of the Jews? To say that He is a controversial figure and has been throughout history is an understatement.
For instance, Matthew 2:1-2 records that magi traveled a great distance to worship Jesus following His birth. They asked, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”
Yet Jesus’ birth caused King Herod to become troubled and then enraged to the point he slew all the male children in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under in an attempt to kill Jesus.
The controversy about Jesus did not end.The Pharisees and Sadducees, threatened by Jesus’s popularity, delivered Him to the Romans who sentenced Him to death on the cross.
Today, anti-semitism, prejudice against or hatred of Jews, is at an all time high, the likes of which have not existed since the Holocaust. What effect and impact does that have on people’s worship of the King of the Jews, Jesus?
Where do you stand in relation to Jesus, the King of the Jews? Do you worship Him as the magi? Or, are you troubled by Him as Herod? Or, are you threatened by Jesus as were the religious leaders of His day?
One day all people will bow before Jesus, King of the Jews. Are you bowing before Him now?
Lord Jesus, KING OF THE JEWS, wise men bow before You. We pray to be increasingly wise and worshipful. Reign in our lives in such a way that others see You and want to worship You.
Jesus, King of the Jews, is worthy of all our praise. Debbie touches on the importance of praise in her book, “Pray with Purpose, Live with Passion.” Get a copy HERE.
