He purposefully goes about looking at a historical figure, Melchizadek, who was both a king and a priest to illustrate the point (Heb 7:1-3). I will look at five aspects of Jesus as King and what it means to us.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t have many kings today in the sense we often see in Scripture. Any kings that come into power in England don\u2019t have any real power and when we look at Presidents or Prime Ministers, we have elected officials\u2014be it by the people, by parties or by a Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>In third world countries we might find these Kings that reign in power and their word has final say, but more often than not we think \u201ctyrant\u201d when we consider them.<\/p>\n<p>Projecting backwards to understand Christ causes problems.<\/p>\n<p>This examination \u00a0of Jesus as King during Christmas week will be in six parts: (1) <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/pbR50-Kb\">A Necessary King<\/a>; (2) <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/pbR50-Kf\">A King by Birth<\/a>; (3) <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/pbR50-Ki\">A King Revealed<\/a>; (4) <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/pbR50-Kl\">A King\u2019s Kingdom<\/a>; \u00a0(5) <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/pbR50-Ko\">A King Who Conquers<\/a>; and \u00a0(6) <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/pbR50-Kr\">What this all \u00a0means to us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I can probably spend weeks on these points, but I want this to be not so much exhaustive but rather sweeping so as to underscore a fundamental aspect (though not The Fundamental Aspect) of our Gospel: Jesus Christ is King.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While working through the book of Hebrews I\u2019ve noted that the writer puts forth the point not only that Jesus is Priest (Heb 5), but that Jesus is King (Heb 1 and God and Man: Heb 2).
