Kingship

Oct 26, 2025    Brad Andrews

What does it truly mean to live under the authority of a king? In our modern world, we pride ourselves on independence and self-rule, yet deep within us lies an instinctive need for true authority. This exploration of Psalm 47 invites us into a profound reality: God reigns as the Most High, the unshakeable King whose throne has stood from eternity past into eternity future. But here's where it gets personal—through Christ, we don't just bow before this King; we actually share in His kingship. Revelation 5 unveils a stunning truth: we have been ransomed not merely to be saved, but to reign. This isn't triumphalism or arrogance; it's our calling as cultural regents, righteous representatives, and faithful emissaries. From the original cultural mandate in Genesis to the Great Commission, we're commissioned to bring order from chaos, beauty from barrenness, and righteousness from rebellion.
