Precisely because we believe that Jesus is King and his kingly power is operative among us, we cannot retreat to the attic of spiritual affairs, not when there is a gospel to proclaim and a hurting world crying out for healing and hope. Precisely because Jesus is the King of kings, we offer him our worship and allegiance, while earthly monarchs and ministers of state may expect from us our intercession, taxes, counsel and service, a service that in its own way advances God’s purposes for human affairs.
