Christ, our true king

Morning: Psalm 118; Zechariah 9:9-16; I Peter 3:13-22

Evening: Psalm 145; Isaiah 19:19-25; Matthew 21:1-13

There are bad kings in the Bible. Israel had insisted on having a king; they were warned! ‘The Crown’, now on Netflix, explores what makes for a good monarch. The Queen knows that the real king is God in Christ, that she serves him. This is probably what makes her a good queen. However, there is still an enormous gap between the Queen, in all her finery, and the real king, Jesus, who rides into Jerusalem on a donkey and confronts those who abuse the people’s trust. He, in all his simplicity, is, and always will be, our true King.
