Everyone wants to be a king, at least in their own lives. This desire to rule ourselves and rule others has been mankind’s biggest problem throughout human history. The landscape of history is littered with would be kings who sacrificed everything—even their lives—for the power that comes with being king. God tells us that he too has a plan for a king. One day, God’s king will come and will destroy all his enemies and carry out a rule of righteous judgment. In this kingdom, there will be no more corruption, politicians, fund raising, or scandals. Jesus, the perfect king, will reign perfectly. As followers of Christ, we should pray for his soon return, that all the world may be brought under his righteous rule in submission to him. Today, in our teaching on prayer, we look at Jesus’ command to pray “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
