Jesus: Our King

While we are all accustomed to democracy as the standard form of government, the history of the world has primarily been ruled by monarchies. This is because we all have a need and longing to be ruled by a king. In this passage, we finally learn about Melchizedek - a mysterious, yet powerful and noble king who blesses those around him. While we need a king, we often choose bad kings that don't actually bless in return. Further, we also miss the blessing because we don't want to be subject to anyone or anything.

Who we bow to as King is most clearly demonstrated by where we direct our money. This teaching explains how Jesus is the True and Better Melchizedek who is worthy not only of our money, but our entire lives and gives us infinitely more in return.
