Jesus is King. But why is it important to understand the nature and significance of His kingship? It is because the consequence of whether or not you accept this means everything. Compared to all the kings we know throughout history, there has and never will be a king like Jesus Christ. Though Jesus sat at the right hand of the throne of God above and ruled as King over all the universe, He willingly gave up the authority of Heaven to become just like one of us in order to save all of us (Philippians 2:5-11).
