Birth of a King

The birth of Jesus Christ was not the arrival of a harmless figurehead, but the coming of a true King one born to rule, to defend, and to enforce justice. In ages past, the birth of a king meant security, order, and hope for even the poorest man, because a ruler had come who would restrain evil and protect the realm. Scripture declares Christ King from His birth, ordained to overthrow every enemy and set all things right. This is why His coming is truly joy to the world: not a fragile peace of sentiment, but the strong peace of justice, righteousness, and victory. Come what may, Christians rejoice for one simple reason we have a King.
