Christ as our King signifies His authority over sin, and His role in delivering and guiding His people.
When we refer to Christ as our King, we acknowledge His supreme authority and sovereignty in our lives. Just as David took Jerusalem and established his reign, Christ takes dominion over our hearts, ruling with grace and mercy. His kingship is about transformation and deliverance; He conquers the Jebusites of sin that dwell within us. In 2 Samuel 5, we see David's action to establish his reign, which parallels Christ establishing His kingdom through His redemptive work. Colossians 1:13 teaches that He has delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, ensuring that under His lordship, we are secure and continually cared for.
