We call Jesus our King. In our culture most of us really only have a vague western concept of the powerful relationship between a king and his subjects. The majority of kings or queens in our day are not absolute monarchs but primarily the ceremonial head of state with little if any political power.
Perhaps as we celebrate Jesus as our King we need to take some time during the week to stop and reflect how important Jesus is in our lives. We can ask ourselves, “Do I really respond to Jesus as a king, or do I merely treat him as just another somebody in my life?” Do I live each day as a person subject to the demands of being called a follower, disciple, subject of Jesus?
