The King of the Kingdom
Christ the King
King of Kings
Description
Jesus Christ is the King of the kingdom. He was born King of the Jews, lived as the rejected King, died with 'King of the Jews' above His head, rose as the victorious King, and will return as King of kings and Lord of lords. All authority in heaven and earth has been given to Him. He is the King eternal, immortal, invisible. Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. His kingdom is not of this world, yet His dominion is universal and His reign eternal.
