The One True King
WHO REIGNS FOR OUR GOOD
Last Sunday, we heard that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" (1 Tim 1:15). This week, we saw what he endured for those sinners to be saved. Guest preacher, Jackson Tran, from Sovereign Grace Church of Orange, opened up the Gospel of John and took us into the last leg of Jesus' journey to the cross. Though he was, and is, and shall forever be the King of kings, he was rejected by lesser authorities, passed over by the crowds, and condemned to bear a criminal's cross. And he did it all for us. He came to die. He revealed the true way back to the God we'd rebelled against. He wields his unrivaled authority for the unparalleled good of his people. He is the King who reigns from the cross. And this might not always be the kind of king we want, but it’s the King we need.
