Why call Jesus a king when everything we know about his life demonstrates that he was the anti-king, a humble man with the least autocratic tendencies imaginable? It's an imperfect turn of phrase but the Lord of earth and heaven, the One we call our King, is the One through whom God ‘was pleased to reconcile to himself all things’... His kingdom of love, joy and peace is unlike any we’ve seen or can otherwise imagine. But it is the truest active force at work in the universe, and without a doubt, that’s why our hearts are stirred up to call Jesus our King.
