Salvation from the Tyranny of Self-Governance

Takeaway: As it turns out, we all need a king and a priest, but unfortunately, we naturally want to make ourselves kings and priests to disastrous results. David in Psalm 110 foretells a coming Lord who alone is qualified to be the King and Priest we so desperately need. Jesus alone rules, Jesus alone atones for sin, and Jesus will destroy all rival kings. Where in your life do you struggle to give King Jesus his rightful throne? Is Jesus's priestly work enough for you, or are you seeking to make your own atonement or affirmation from others?
