What a Contrast!
King’s responsibilities:
Raising an army
collecting taxes
conscription for government service
administering civil, military & religious affairs
domestic infrastructure building
diplomatic relations
international trade
justice - final appeal
most important - divine covenant
So, What is Jesus Doing in John 18?
raising an army & conscripting for government service
engaging in diplomatic relations
building the infrastructure
paying (!) the taxes
enacting justice
most of all submitting to the divine covenant on our behalf
Oh! That’s Why!
That’s why Jesus is given all that authority and power and dominion in Daniel.
That’s why Jesus is our King—he has claimed us, and we have answered.
So What?
Our loyalty belongs to Jesus…not to Canada, or to neighbours, or to spouses, or to family or to charitable organizations, or companies, or sports teams.
What part is God having you play right now? Are you a soldier?
A “government official”?
Are you building infrastructure?
Enacting justice?
—All of the above!
Don’t get confused.
Keep your loyalty focused on Jesus and his kingdom alone!
Don’t confuse Canada (or anything else) with the Kingdom of God! They’re not the same!
Why?
Because, what’s the alternative?
Because the Kingdom of God is so much better than any earthly kingdom
Because Jesus is the King who gave his life for you!
Because he did so, even though you were one of the rebels fighting him.
