We Have No King But Christ
The Christian Response To Government In The Trial Of Jesus
Do we, as Christians have no King but Christ or are we trusting in men and declaring that we have no king but Caesar?
Patrick was invited by our friends at the Anarchy Bible Study to join them on their show. Josh & Jeff were kind enough to invite me over to do a Bible study with them. We had so much fun and so much to say we had to split it into two parts.
The Christian should strive to be balanced and consistent in his/her walk of faith and sanctification process. The Bible informs us how to be good parents, good children, good citizens, and good people. When it comes to the Christian’s relationship with the government we sometimes think The Bible tells us little.
Using John 18:28-19:16 as our Scriptural touchpoint, at the trial of Jesus we see the Kingdom of God meet the Kingdom of Caesar. We look at the nature of the State and the relationship and response Christians need to be mindful of when we come against worldly power and the danger involved in putting our trust in it. A balanced and consistent response is provided to us by the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
Part one covers Jesus against the Pharisees where we examine our ideals of our systems of government in place and see if they match reality. And we also cover Jesus against Pontius Pilate and look to see if our eyes are turned upward towards the Kingdom of God or downward towards the kingdom of men for our salvation.
