Jesus makes clear in his testimony before Pontius Pilate that his kingship is not from this world. He is a king from another world, and his kingship is different from earthly rule. Instead of being concerned with armies and ambassadors, politics and power, Christ our King is concerned with forgiveness of sins, eternal life, and salvation - all of which He accomplished through his life-giving death on the tree of the cross. When the world sees Jesus again, it will see a very different Jesus than the one standing on trial bruised and bloody before Pilate. Whether people have acknowledged Christ as King in this life or not, when Jesus comes again the whole world will then acknowledge Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords. And so we pray: Amen. Come quickly, Lord Jesus. Amen.
