Many people follow a king or leader of some sort (whether they like it or not). But there is one King [Melekh] who all the kings and leaders of this earth will answer to. And we know that our King is a righteous and just King, who is also merciful and patient. And one day all of us will stand before His throne. Now is the time to ask yourself, “who is your king?” May it be Jesus Christ, The King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords, who the Father sent to this earth to be a sacrifice for all. How many kings would sacrifice Himself for his people? Christ did. And He sits at the right hand of the Father; and one day He will return to rule this earth, and His dominion will not end.

Ancient of Days, The Alpha and Omega
What do we call God? Because of His endless character and because He is so indescribable, He has several names. Each name describes an attribute of God. But God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son, were there through creation, and will always be. God is eternal. God is three persons, but one God. A hard concept but they each work together as one triune God. That is for another post (see The Trinity: God in 3 Persons and the posts that go along with that). Daniel calls God “The Ancient of Days.” In Revelation. Jesus reveals Himself in Revelation as The Alpha and Omega. He is the Beginning and the End, the First and The Last. He is the One who was and is and is to come.

How would you describe someone who is strong and powerful? Someone who is immovable? Where would people go to be protected by enemies or disaster? Castles are often built on a rock. David went into the rocks to hide from Saul. He also used a rock to kill a giant. But the true rock is God. He was the one that was with David when he faced Goliath. He was the one that was with him when he was being pursued by King Saul. With God we do not need to fear. We can rely on His strength and power. We know He never changes. His words are true. He keeps His promises. He will lead us and protect us from the evil one. He will strengthen us through our struggles. He is the firm foundation to build our life on.

In our last discussion we talked about the throne that is in heaven that God the Father sits at. It is not the only throne, however. We also mentioned last time that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came to this earth and paid the price for our sins as a sacrifice, sits at the right hand of God the Father. Jesus deserves the glory and our worship. He also has another throne in addition to His throne of glory. A throne of judgement. Let us look at each of the thrones of Christ.

Treasures are great. What treasure do you seek? There is so much excitement when we find a treasure. But there is no treasure on this earth that can compare to that which will be waiting in heaven for those of us who trust in Jesus. Even now, here on this earth, we will receive some reward. Following Jesus does not guarantee an easy life, or riches, or good health, but we will have joy even through hard times. We will have confidence knowing that Christ is always by our side and the glory that awaits us in heaven. Jesus gives a few parables about treasures that we ought to seek.
