Jesus Is King!

Mark chapter 15 highlights the fact that even in Jesus trial and death He is declared over and over and over again to be the absolute KING!  Pilate asks Jesus, "are you a king?" Jesus answers "You have said it".  Then Pilate announces to the Jews, "Behold your King!"   The soldiers mockingly crown Him with a crown of thorns and put a purple robe on Jesus again recognizing Jesus is truly a King even as they mock Him!  Then Pilate asks the people what do you want me to do with Jesus the "King of the Jews?"  The Jewish leaders ask Pilate to remove the declaration from off the cross.  Pilate simple says, "What I have done I have done."  The people below the cross recognize Him again as "King of the Jews" and challenge Jesus to come down from the cross.  Pilate then declares Jesus as "King of the Jews" in Latin, Greek and Hebrew letters by nailing it to the cross above Jesus head. Every declaration, every annoucement, every person associated with Jesus trial and death keep recognizing that Jesus is "KING OF THE JEWS".  The kingdom of God is the most powerful force in the world and Jesus shall soon return as the reigning KING! We have the most wonderful privilege to bow to Him now and make Him to be our personal King and ruler over our lives.  We here at Action Evangelism do not believe that simple faith and receiving Jesus as Saviour is enough.  We believe in Lordship evangelism.  True repentance takes us directly under Jesus authority and makes Him both Lord and Saviour. This is the lost message of the church today.  "Easy believism" has stripped the seeker friendly church today of it's power and authority on earth to take nations and to live the victorious life.  One of our favorite sayings is, "You have no authority, if you are not under authority!"  
                                                    
                                    JESUS IS THE KING!
