Yesterday, the Scripture readings I heard in church—no doubt the same readings preached to countless other Christians across the country—reminded that Christ is king, that he will return at the end of time to restore his kingdom. That, although he humbly entered Jerusalem on a donkey and didn’t live as a king on earth, he has been king since the foundation of the world. That it is only through him that any ruler on earth has authority to rule—and the freedom to rule either justly in accordance with God’s authority, or unjustly. This makes me wonder whether the president-elect fully grasps from where his power comes.
