Jesus is the king whose reign was not of this world, the Savior who did not save himself. Those who follow Jesus, who call themselves Christian, still struggle to live according to the radical message he preached. But why is it so hard? All too often we allow all the wrong things to have power over us… the internet, or influencers, or politicians, or social media. But what we really need to do is surrender ourselves fully to Jesus and declare him to be the ultimate king of our lives, our minds, and our hearts. So, how do we do that?
