Wednesday, March 21, 2001
My beloved brethren used for believers in ROM 12:19; HEB 6:9, 1PE 2:11; 2PE 3:1,8, 1JO 3:12.
Doctrine of the Royalty of Jesus Christ.
“Royal” kingly, pertaining to a crown.
Its used to describe a king as the sovereign ruler of people.
“Royalty” the dignified quality or nature of a king.
The Hebrew word used is melek; the Greek word is basileus.
The royalty of His deity, by virtue of the fact that He is eternal and infinite God.
GEN 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
COL 1:16 “For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities all things have been created by Him and for Him.”
The royalty of His humanity, by virtue of the virgin birth, Incarnation and First Advent.
The royalty of His Hypostatic Union, by virtue of His strategic victory at the cross.
1TI 3:16 “And by common confession great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Beheld by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.”
Point 2. The Divine Royalty of Christ.
As the manifest person of the Trinity, our Lord wears the crown of divine royalty, JOH 1:18; JOH 6:46, 1TI 6:16 1JO 4:12.
Point 3. The Jewish Royalty of Christ, the Royalty of His Humanity.
At the point of His virgin birth TLJC became Jewish royalty, directly descendant from David and Bathsheba in the tribe of Judah, the family of Jesse.
2SA 5:14 “Now these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,”
Mary is descendant from their son Nathan. Joseph is descendant from their son Solomon, Joseph being Jesus legal but not real father.
Point 4. The Battlefield Royalty of Jesus Christ.
By living in the PPOG, our Lord was qualified by impeccability to go to the cross and be judged for our sins.
