His name is King of Kings and Lord of Lords

‘And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords.’ – Revelation 19v16

Third name is given here, fourth if we count the one that only He knows. This one is different in that it is written on both His robes and His thigh.

For almost two thousand years now the world leaders have imagined that they are in control. Kings and masters have carried on like there is no one who will hold them accountable.

They should have had a hint when Jesus replied to Pilate who was bragging that he had the power to say a word and decide Jesus’ life. Jesus replied that Pilate had no power that He did not give him.

Human leaders have their power because Jesus permits it. But on the day when He mounts up on the white horse He will, finally in our minds, establish and accept His place as King over all the kings and Lord over all the lords. He will be the President over all presidents and Prime Minister over all prime ministers.

It is going to be tough in the meantime. But we can look forward to the day when our King and Lord will take His place on His throne.
