Our world is permeated by the struggle for power. Countless kings vie for a seat on countless thrones. This power struggle includes the battle for our hearts. Thankfully, Jesus is a king rules differently from all the rest. This week we see how Jesus’ rule is unlike any other because it allow us to be unafraid. If Jesus ruled his kingdom the same way the kingdoms of this world are ruled, the members of Jesus’ kingdom would have every reason to fear rival kingdoms and rival powers. However, as we have seen during the past few weeks, Jesus rules alone. Not only does he operate his kingdom with different principles, but by those principles he has conquered every other kingdom. Every citizen of his kingdom can face life unafraid, confident that Jesus’ victory is their victory.
