Rule of One

MAY 28, 2020

Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.
Psalm 24:7

 Recommended Reading: Revelation 19:11-16

Monarchy is based on a Greek word that means “rule of one.” That’s what a monarchy is—a nation or state ruled by a king, a queen, a sultan, or some other singular ruler. There are different kinds of monarchies in which the ruler is merely a figurehead (United Kingdom) or is the head of state (Saudi Arabia). Today there are 28 monarchies in the world which rule or reign over 44 countries.

Uniquely, the Kingdom of God is ruled by the “King of kings and Lord of lords,” Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 6:15). In his Pentecost sermon, Peter noted that Christ has been “exalted to the right hand of God” (Acts 2:33) from where He awaits the time when He will return and establish His kingdom and rule over all the earth (Revelation 19). At that time, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Him as King of kings (Philippians 2:10).

Is Jesus the true and only monarch in your life? Better to confess Him now in anticipation of His return and rule.

Such as will not have Christ to be their king to rule over them, shall never have his blood to save them.
