Another way of thinking about this is that we are not conducting a presidential campaign, trying to get as many people as possible to vote for Jesus, so that if we are successful, then He can assume a position of authority. No, His position is already one of a conquering monarch, and He is already on the throne. He has been seated on the throne of a cosmic empire, and our task is to announce this already accomplished coronation to all the people in the outlying villages.
