Let's see there was King David, King Saul and Solomon. What about King Henry VIII? Throughout history there have been kings. I know here in the U.S. we don't have Kings but we might as well with the way we treat our President and all. So, we'll add them to the list. King Clinton and King Bush. What about King Lincoln or King Washngton?
.
All of these people are remembered throughout history for one reason or another. They were leaders. They picked up the slack and made a difference. It may not have been a positive difference but they certainly made one.
.
However, my question is how many of them died for their people? Which one of them stood up and said "Crucify me! I'll take the place of my people! I will save them?" Well, I don't know alot about history and/or kings but I do know that not a single one of these men did that.
.
I only know of one King who laid his life down for his people. That was King Jesus! What sort of honor do we show our King? Our tribe has the greatest leader of all time! We have a leader that no other tribe can compare to. There is no argument, no discussion. He died for us! End of story! Our King took his last breath hanging on a cross to save his people! That, my friend, is honor!

"...the Lord is the only true God. He is the living God and the everlasting King!" Jeremiah 10:10 (NLT).

Amazing love,
How can it be
That You, my King, should die for me?
Amazing love,
I know it’s true.
It’s my joy to honor You,
In all I do,
I honor You.
