Who Is The King?

This Christmas message challenges us to examine our hearts and our relationship with Jesus as King. The story of the Magi from Matthew 2 serves as a powerful contrast between those who recognize Christ's authority and those who see it as a threat. We're asked to consider: Are we like the Magi, willing to journey far and lay our treasures at Jesus' feet? Or are we more like Herod, disturbed by the idea of surrendering control? This message reminds us that true Christianity isn't about what we can get from God, but what we can lay before Him. It's a call to move beyond an 'American Christianity' that focuses on blessings and rights, and instead embrace a faith that surrenders everything to Christ's kingship. As we reflect on this, we're challenged to let Jesus truly reign in every aspect of our lives, even when it feels threatening to our sense of control.
