你有沒有在電視上看過英國皇室的典禮？女王在這些特殊場合總是會戴著王冠，王冠是權柄和能力的象徵，像這樣的王冠通常用黃金製作並且用珠寶來裝飾。

在我們今天閱讀的經文中，耶穌進入耶路撒冷，群眾很興奮來看祂，他們敬拜祂、讚美祂，但是這些人並不真的了解耶穌為何來到世上，他們期待祂推翻羅馬政權並建立一個世上的王國，而祂會戴著王冠、坐在寶座上。但這並不是上帝為祂的兒子準備的計畫。

耶穌確實是一位君王，啟示錄描寫了耶穌是一個什麼樣的天國君王，如果我們順服耶穌並讓祂掌管我們的生命，我們將在祂的國度裡有份。

耶穌是你生命的君王嗎？今天就花時間想一想跟祂永遠同住會是什麼情況。—JK

「耶穌是那忠誠的見證者、首先從死裡復活、作地上諸王統治者。」啟示錄1:5b

禱告：天父，感謝祢賜下耶穌作為我生命的王。奉主的名，阿們！

(林威妮譯)

Bible Reading: Matthew 21:1-9

Saturday, November 14, 2015 

Have you ever watched a royal ceremony from England on TV? The queen always wears a crown on these special occasions. A crown is a sign of authority and power. A crown like this is usually made of gold and decorated with jewels.

In our Bible verses today, Jesus entered Jerusalem. The people were excited to see Him. They worshiped and praised Him. But these people did not really understand why Jesus came to earth. They expected Him to overthrow the Romans and establish an earthly kingdom where He would sit on a throne and wear a crown. But that was not God’s plan for His Son.

Jesus is truly a king. The book of Revelation describes how Jesus is the King of a heavenly kingdom. If we obey Jesus and allow Him to rule our lives, we will share in His kingdom.

Is Jesus the King of your life? Take time today to think about what it will be like to live with Him forever. —JK

“Jesus is the faithful witness. He is first among all who will be raised from death. He is the ruler of the kings of the earth.” Revelation 1:5b

PRAYER: Father, thank You for Jesus who is King of my life. In His name. Amen.
