No Other King

No other King No other king could vanquish the warhorse or silence the warrior's rage while riding the lowly back of a donkey. No other king could break the dominion of darkness and tyranny of evil with a reign of grace and a kingdom for peace. No other king could give his life for the redemption of rebels, his wealth to welcome the outcast. Jesus is that king, the king of glory, son of the living God, not just another king, not just another prophet, not just another teacher. He was the one the world ended up waiting for, the one to deliver us from captivity, the son of David and Abraham's chosen seed. He is the gold of the Mosaic law, Yahweh in the flesh. He is the one who established God's reign and rule to heal the sick and give sight to the blind, freedom to the prisoners, and proclaim good news to the poor. This Jesus was the creator, come to earth, and the beginning of a new creation. He embodied the covenant, fulfilled the commandments, and reversed the curse. This Jesus is the Christ that God spoke of to the serpent, the one presecuted to Noah in the flood, the one promised to Abraham, the one guaranteed to Moses before he died, the one promised to David during his reign, the one revealed to Isaiah, the suffering servant, the one predicted through the prophets and prepared for reproach on the back day. He is the Father, Son, Savior of the world, substitute for our sins, more loving, more holy, more wonderfully terrifying than we ever thought possible. He is our Jesus, and there is no other king like him. He is our God, our glory, our victorious Savior. There is no other king like him. There is no other king.
