- As with his priesthood, Jesus Christ did not take upon himself the honor of becoming king (see Heb. 5:5). Rather, the Father appointed and declared Jesus to be king. God has ordained, empowered, and accepted him as supreme ruler over all creation, particularly the church. This means that the Lord appointed Jesus to be the king over his people.

Mar 24, 2002 · Jesus Declares His Kingship by Riding on a Donkey (Zech. 9:9) First, notice Matthew 21:1-5. Jesus sends two of his disciples to get a donkey. Verse 2: "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me."
Feb 2, 2009 · In the brief but significant conversation recorded between Jesus and Pontius Pilate, we read of Pilate asking Jesus, “Are you a king?” We can well imagine a sardonic grin planted on the face of this puppet in the hands of Caesar, inquiring into the kingship of this Jewish carpenter.
Aug 19, 2020 · In all his teaching on God’s kingship (the kingdom of God) Jesus never claimed to be king, since kingship must come from God. Now, in private, with someone who has received the revelation of his kingship, Jesus feels free to discuss his regal authority.

But wait a minute. When you consider God’s idea of kingship, maybe David’s experience as shepherd made him perfectly suited for the task. For the shepherd’s duty was twofold. When a lion or bear threatened the flock, the shepherd had to fight and protect. But his more daily task was to bring the sheep to pasture where they could eat and drink, rest...
But he could not resist skimming off some cream in the process. His goal was to protect and care for the flock. But he saw a fair Ewe and snatched her for himself, though her husband was risking his very life for David on the battlefield. And David ultimately took that life to cover up his sin (2 Sam 11). That’s precisely why God had advised his pe...
So Jesus comes as a king, but not a king of this world (Jn. 18:36). Ever wonder why he told people to be quiet who went about proclaiming him messiah-king? Because his kingshipwas different than the kind of kingship they were expecting. Yes, he was indeed on a mission to rescue his people from the power of darkness (Col 1:12). But his crown was of ...
This is true kingship: the true king-shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. And how about the provision he makes for his subjects? After all, his role is to feed as well as defend. He fed them and continues to feed them from two tables: the Word and the Eucharist. His teaching and the sacrament of his body and blood together constitute the refr...
But things are not now as they will one day be. The king who once rode into town on a donkey will next time be riding on the clouds. He will come no longer in suffering but will rather be clothed in glory. Now it takes faith to see him. Then his coming will be plain as day. Now he compels no one. Then every knee will have no choice but to bow. When...
May 16, 2017 · The first chapter of Matthew traces Jesus' lineage through his father Joseph back to King David through something like 18 generations. But as we know, Jesus was born through the agency of the Holy Spirit meaning that Joseph did not impregnate his mother, the Virgin Mary.
Jan 4, 2022 · The high priest Caiaphas had to convince Pilate that Jesus was a troublemaker and a threat to Roman stability. He accused Christ of claiming to be a king—a charge that would insinuate Jesus in the crime of recruiting rebel forces to launch a revolution against Roman authority (Luke 23:2–5).
Feb 25, 2022 · Jesus is referred to as King in both the New Testament letters and in Old Testament prophecy. Zechariah 9:9 is a foretelling of what we refer to as Palm Sunday, where Jesus rides into Jerusalem in just this way, riding on a donkey, as crowds around him shout Hosanna!
