Jesus came as someone the people were not expecting - a tiny infant.
They were expecting a mighty king.
A conquering hero.
A brave warrior.
These things are all true of Him, of course, but it may have not seemed like He was any of those at the time He was on earth. He was merely human, although God incarnate, a baby. He died a sinner's death, crucified.
But He is still that mighty king. And even though He is that mighty king, He is still our king. He is personal. Not only to believers as the Church, but also to believers as individuals. He is ours. He lives in each of us (given we've invited Him in, that is). But are we living our lives in a manner that is evidence of this?
Walk the talk.
We should be wanting more of Him.
We should be bowing down to this King.
We should be turning to Him for counsel and rest.
' "Out of the north he comes in golden splendor; God comes in awesome majesty. The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power; in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress. Therefore, men revere him, for does he not have regard for all the wise in heart?" '
[Job 37:21-24]
