You are the King of Israel”

Nathanael answered him, Rabbi “you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel”

Wow what a moment of clarity, and what a moment of joy. Can you picture Nathanael as a young Jewish boy he had been told all the stories about the messiah, the one who would come and save the Jews, the one that would be the King of Israel? But now he was standing right in front of him, the King was talking with him, calling him to follow.

Its moments like these that we as Christians have often missed, for this King of Israel, has call us to follow. It might be due to our lack of understanding we are not that Jewish young boy who have studies most of his young life about this King. It might be that we just don’t feel the weight of who he is, or it just might be that we have lost the sense of AWE for the messiah. But what ever it is, it is time to refocus to regain a sense of who this man is. He is the King of Israel, but even more he is The King of Kings, The Lord of Lord’s, The Saving One. He is The Messiah, Jesus Christ the Lord.

So today take a moment and think about it, ask today for a profound sense of AWE for The King.
