Knox preaches on the kingship of Jesus based on Hebrews 2:9. Hebrews presents a true reality of Jesus as ruler over all of creation. God is in control and accomplishes all of His purposes. As God's creation, humans have been entrusted with dominion to rule over all of creation. Jesus, the perfect obedient and faithful man is crowned king. Through Jesus, we likewise share in a similar experience. Hebrews 2:9 identifies the suffering and death of Christ as central to Jesus' ascension to kingship. The means by which we see the Kingdom of God is the eye of faith. The compass of our lives is to see Christ crowned. The purpose of Jesus' ascension and subsequent authority is to bless the world and nations through the offer of salvation. This is accomplished through the commission given to all followers of Jesus to make disciples of all nations. The end result is the accomplishment of God's purposes for all nations and the world. Knox challenges listeners if they see Jesus crowned and if this shapes their motivations and thinking. Jesus crowned should be the centre of our worldview. Do we understand God's purposes for the world? Do we partake of it? Do we speak gladly of this purpose to others?
