He is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. —1 Timothy 6:15
Christ has laid the kingdom to run on the foundation of His wisdom. He built the pillars that uphold the structure, and everything in His world runs on His power and knowledge . . . Since He laid out its workings, He was the only one who could upset the natural physics of death. He is the only one who held the keys to upending and redeeming all of His creation for its intended purpose—to be the dwelling place for a King and His people.
When earthly kings and queens die, they stay dead. The whole world is a mausoleum of archeological digs and graves, memorials, tombs, cathedral sepulchres, and cemeteries full of kings and queens who died and did not resurrect. Their tombs are still full.
But we have a greater King whose tomb is empty! . . . He will, forever, receive praise every eternal day for this marvelous, miraculous work of defying natural laws He Himself set in place.
