Is it possible for us to have a good king on earth?

The sermon centers on the revelation of Jesus Christ as the true King of kings, illustrated through the Magi's journey to worship Him in Matthew 2, contrasting their humble faith with the fear and violence of Herod and the complacency of Jerusalem's religious leaders. It explores the deep human longing for a just and righteous ruler, affirming that while no earthly king can fulfill this desire, Jesus—God incarnate—alone provides true justice, peace, and salvation through His sacrificial death. The passage highlights the irony that those outside Israel's religious tradition, even those once entangled in false worship, were drawn to Christ by divine grace, while the chosen people, entrusted with God's Word, failed to respond with faith. The sermon calls believers to recognize their need for a king, to worship Jesus with wholehearted allegiance, and to live as ambassadors of His kingdom, knowing that His return will bring ultimate restoration and universal submission. This hope is not passive but active, urging the church to proclaim Christ daily, trusting that His victory over sin and death brings lasting peace and joy in a broken world.
