JESUS KING OF GLORY JESUS KING OF KINGS

“JESUS, KING OF GLORY & JESUS, KING OF KINGS” Pastor Mike Brubaker

Introduction - Mark 16: 1 -7 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb? ” 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

Introduction - Mark 16: 1 -7 6 “Don’t be alarmed, ” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you. ” Mark 16: 1 -7 Pastor: “Christ Is Risen!” Church: “Christ Is Risen, Indeed!”

Introduction • The cross & death of Christ had to come first. (Mk. 15: 32 -39 & Jn. 19: 19 -22) – 32 Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now – from the cross, that we may see and believe. ” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him. - Mk 15: 32 37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. 38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!” - Mk 15: 37 -39 • The cross & death of Christ led to the resurrection of Jesus Christ!

Message in a Sentence: “As I truly experience the death & resurrection of Jesus, then I will experience Jesus as my King!”

Two victorious titles of Jesus Christ • The first victorious title is Jesus: King of Glory! (Psalm 24: 8 -10) 8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty— he is the King of glory.

The first victorious title is Jesus: King of Glory! (Psalm 24: 8 -10) • Pre-incarnate declaration about this King • Glory is connected to this King in the OT (expression from the 1960’s) • Triumphant entries of this King in the OT & NT (Psalm 24: 8, 9 & Ephesians 4: 8 -10) • Pre-incarnate description about Jesus, this King (Psalm 110: 1) • This King is a descendent of David & declared the Son of God (Romans 1: 3 -4) • The reign of this King of Glory is forever (Luke 1: 33)

The second victorious title is Jesus, King of Kings! (Revelation 19: 16) 16 On his robe and on his thigh He has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords - Revelation 19: 16 • This King comes in great splendor (Revelation 19: 11 -16) • This King has all authority (Matthew 28: 18; John 5: 22, 27; 1 Corinthians 15: 24 -28)

My Response to the King of Glory and King of Kings: • Humble myself before Him. (James 4: 10) • Bow myself before Him. (Philippians 2: 9 -11)Examples of 2 men named John • Accept that He is a good, perfectly loving God & King. • If you’ve been withholding something from Him, give it to Him (He loves you!) • Trust Him as your Lord & Savior for the forgiveness of your sins. (Rom. 10: 9 -13) • Give thanks that you are a daughter or a son of the King. • Since Jesus is God, then allow Him to be involved in your vocation
