The Ideal King (eBook, ePUB)

Jesus in Light of the Mosaic Ideal

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Jesus is King, but not in the way people might normally think of "kingship." Jesus' power didn't come through military strength, high GDP earnings, or political alliances such as NATO. None of those power bases can guarantee a lasting kingdom because those means of power are conditional. There is a power that is unconditional: Truth. The Ideal King, Truth incarnate, founded his kingdom on truth and holiness. These two ideals are so challenging to worldly power that the world executed Jesus. While Truth doesn't stay dead, militaries can wither, currencies can collapse, and alliances can dissolve. While nations of the world ebb and flow, the Ideal King lives and expands his rule through his emissaries, who are also not like the nations in their singular focus on loving and proclaiming the Truth.
