Our world is permeated by the struggle for power. Countless kings vie for a seat on countless thrones. This power struggle includes the battle for our hearts. Thankfully, Jesus is a king rules differently from all the rest. This week we see how Jesus’ rule is unlike any other because it is unmerited. Because God’s grace is for all, the only way for someone to approach God is through faith. Any trust in our own merits is mutually exclusive with God’s gracious call. Only complete trust in the merits of Christ makes us worthy to stand before God as holy and acceptable in his sight.
