Jesus, Our King
Playback speed
No place gives us a loftier and more penetrating view of who Jesus is than Colossians 1, which tells us that Jesus is a king.
This passage tells us Jesus is the king of all kings. One paragraph tells us about the kingship of Christ that is. The other paragraph tells us about the kingship of Christ that can be. He is king of the cosmos, but he needs to be, and he can be, king of your personal life.
Let’s take a look at both these aspects: 1) that Christ is cosmic king, and 2) that Christ must be your personal king.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 10, 1995. Series: Matthew 9. Scripture: Colossians 1:9-17.

The Meaning of Christmas
Christmas shows why Christianity is unique. In all other religions, a prophet arrives and teaches how we can find eternal life. In Christianity, God himself comes to us and gives himself as the way to eternal life. Christmas shows that salvation is b...
