He Makes Us Kings, Not Vice Versa

"When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone." (John 6: 15)

There is so much we can read in this verse about our Lord Jesus.

He did not want to become some political leader on earth.

A number of times, he define what real lordship is all about:

"But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 26But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: 28Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." (Matthew 20: 25-28)

and 

"For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." (Mark 10: 45)

There is still so much more that the Holy Spirit reveals to us about Jesus.

Jesus is always King. We do not make him king. 

"which He will bring about at the proper time-- He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords" (1 Timothy 6: 15)

For anyone to presume to make Jesus King  - simply exposes that they still see themselves as the first and final authority in this life.

Paul put aside such self-promoting folly:

"Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19For it pleasedthe Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."  (Colossians 1: 15-20)

Let's accept something very clear: We do not make Jesus King of anything. He is already king.

He came to make us kings:

"For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ." (Romans 5: 17)

and 

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:" (1 Peter 2: 9)
