A King You Can Trust
In the Bible we see that human kings fail all the time. But Jesus is a king you can put your trust in because He always rules with truth, righteousness, and grace.
Guest (Male): Open the Bible with Colin Smith.
Colin Smith: Would it surprise you to know that none of the Old Testament kings measured up to God's standard? Saul was self-willed and disobedient. Solomon's wives turned his heart toward other gods. And the best of Israel's kings, David, was guilty of adultery and murder.
Now, if you've been failed by a leader and your trust has been broken, there is a king you can trust, and his name is Jesus. Jesus is the king who fulfills all that God requires of any leader, and it's through him that the will of God will be accomplished. Christian faith is not about trusting Christian leaders. It's about trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ, and those who trust in him will never be disappointed.
