Advent 10

King


10. King, Most High

By definition God is above all else. In comparison to a monarchy, in which the king is at the head of his people, so our Lord is our king. No one is above Him in rank or power or glory. All submit to Him. Enemies must deal with Him primarily. He has a right to the dues He requires of His people. He is known for the exactness of His justice, so no one can expect to get way with any wrong-doing. Anyone who tries is considered very foolish. This King Most High rules, defends, judges, and rewards those who do good for the kingdom and His honor. Thus His people are glad to be part of His kingdom. They can count on His rewards for following Him, and can expect defeat of His enemies for peace in the Kingdom, and are happy to give Him praise for His leadership. “Thou, Lord, Most High, hast made me glad through Thy work.”
