While we are familiar with kingdoms in the United States, I don’t think we fully understand the impact of living under a monarchy. In these goverments, the king has the final say as to what can or cannot be done. His will rules the nation and people must honor and obey the king or queen. The monarchy can choose to be self-serving or benevolent toward the people.
Jesus continued to teach us to pray, “You kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10) This part of the prayer calls upon Jesus to rule in our hearts and help us to faithfully follow Him. He is truly a benevolent King with power and authority over all people and nations. We can submit to His rule in our hearts because we know that He loves us and will do good for us.
