Psalm 47:7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.

Pontius Pilot knew Jesus was special and wrote of him “King of the Jews.”

Jesus gave His life and rose again defeating death so we could know Him truly as our King of life and death, King of everything, King of our hearts.

We need to lift up our praises and worship to our King at all times to show the world just how special He really is!

Acts 18:9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: ‘Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.’

If we could listen clearly to God, then we would hear Him repeating these words to us as we face what the world throws at us!

God does not want us to fade silently into the shadows as we face people who want to mock or hurt us – He wants us to stand firm and continue telling people about God!

Jesus never stopped sharing His thoughts and feelings about God the Father – we shouldn’t stop either!

Hebrews 7:11 If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood – and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood – why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?

Jesus came because we needed to break free from the loop of having to offer sacrifices all the time for everything we do wrong.

Priests would have to offer sacrifices to cleanse themselves before they could offer sacrifices for others because they too have sinned.

Jesus offered Himself, sinless and perfect, to be the ultimate and final sacrifice for us all and for ever!
