King of Kings

This is a painting called King of Kings - it was destroyed during a bombing raid in world war 2. It shows Kings and rulers of countries and empires across time worshipping Jesus.

He alone is the focus of their attention while the devil cringes behind Christ. Is Jesus the focus of your attention this morning. It doesn't matter how important we think we may be if we don't realise how important Jesus is.

The devil's sin was pride, let us beware lest we become proud and place Jesus at the centre of our picture this morning.

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s a light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!

His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!
