The Perfect King for an Eternal Kingdom

“If God is sovereign over all creation, then what difference does it make that the Father gave the throne of David to Jesus?”

Sermon Summary

If God is sovereign over all creation, then what difference does it make that the Father gave the throne of David to Jesus?

The message of the angels about the Christ child is that Jesus is the Son of God and the long-awaited king. God promised David that one of his descendants would sit on the throne of an eternal kingdom, and Jesus is the fulfillment of that promise. Jesus is the Perfect King for an Eternal Kingdom, but why?

Jesus is the Perfect King because it is through the King that we enter the Kingdom, because we can know the King personally, because the King is at work in and through our lives, and because we can trust the King’s love and wisdom and righteousness even when we don’t understand.

The fact that Jesus sits on the throne of David makes the Kingdom of God personal for those who come to Jesus by grace through faith.
