There is One and only One who has the authority to be our true King. He is the only One who is truly sovereign and in control. In these verses, God declares the sovereign Lordship of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

God is merciful, gracious and abounding in steadfast love. He MUST judge sin because it it evil and completely against His own holy nature.

-Wonderful things- are happening as our Lord is transforming lives, which is what encountering Jesus by faith always brings about.

Likewise, God transforms our lives and our worship through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ

Through understanding God's Word we can know Him intimately. However, because His thoughts and ways are so far above ours, we can only know Him through His Word. Furthermore, His word can never fail. It is always effective, though it must be understood according to itself and not man's interpretations.

In this passage, God shows us the way of spiritual reformation, whether personal or corporate. Such reformation is not something that we can make happen. If we could make it happen, then it would have happened already. But this passage conveys to us how it is that we can move in the direction of our place ourselves in an attitude that can lead to spiritual reformation and transformation. It can lead to salvation for those who do not know the Lord, and it can lead to great growth and maturity for those who are already devoted to the Lord Jesus.

As the Lord Jesus entered Jerusalem at the beginning to the week leading up to His crucifixion, something amazing happened.

God always transforms our lives when we encounter our Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ.

In a time when the philosophy of Social Justice and the moral revolution is gaining ground, we must understand that God grounds all human morality in His own nature and character.

What does God say about race- How would He answer the question, -Is there more than one race of human beings-- What we see in God's word is simply this- God created every single person from one man.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is sovereign because He is God the Son, the second Person of the Trinity. He is the faithful witness to the truth of the gospel.

Our Lord calls those of us who are true followers of Christ to be so focused on the Lord Jesus and on our relationship with Him that we would see immediately how foolish every unbiblical worldview really is so that we will not get pulled in. God calls you to be intentional above all in your devotion to Christ.
