Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter.

Thanks for joining and Merry Christmas. Today, we're reading Revelation 19. And in it, we come across the description of Christ that reads King of Kings.

But have you ever taken a significant amount of time to meditate on

what that means? It's easy to slap a short and simple Christianese definition on it, but have you ever

let the gravity of the title, King of Kings, sink in? There's this song we sing a lot around Christmas time.

It's called King of Kings, and it's not necessarily a Christmas song, but the lyrics go like this. In the darkness we were

waiting, without hope, without light, till from heaven you came running, there was mercy in your

eyes. To fulfill the law and prophets, to a virgin came the word, from a throne of

endless glory to a cradle in the dirt. Praise the father, praise the son, praise the spirit, three in one.

God of glory, majesty, praise forever to the king of kings. The chorus ends with that line,

praise forever to the king of kings. And that description, king of kings, actually turns up in

today's chapter. And if we're honest, I think there are descriptive phrases of Christ that we can

grow complacent toward. Like, they just lose their novelty

a little bit. We're used to saying, yes, he's the lamb or the baby in a manger or the king of kings.

But in today's chapter, we're reminded of just what Jesus is like. Jordan Felix, the Revelation 19

Devo writer, lays out for us a glimpse of the descriptions we get in today's chapter.

Let me read his list for you. He is called Faithful and True. That's verse 11. His eyes are like a flame of fire.

Verse 12. He wears many crowns with a name no one knows. Also verse 12. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, verse 13. He is called

the Word of God, verse 13. His army is arrayed in fine linen, white and pure. That's verse 14.

He has a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron. He will

pour out the wrath of God. On his robe and on his thigh, he has a name written, King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Revelation 19, verse 16. King of Kings, Lord of Lords. What exactly does that ultimate title mean?
