king might well be your own carnal appetites; the lusts of the
flesh. Perhaps your king is some basically good cause that has
been given supreme allegiance over the Lord Jesus Christ. You
may be a workaholic who has displaced King Jesus with your
employment.
Whatever the object of your supreme affection and devotion, that

the people. With Jesus as your King the resources of the kingdom
of Heaven are yours. They are inexhaustible.

you have a Strategist, in the person of Jesus Christ, who will
devise a plan assuring you victory.
By observing some events and teachings of Christ during His last
