The King

Jesus is both lion and lamb... king and silent sacrifice. The lamb aspect is what we see now. An outsider. Living and traveling outside the 'camp'. He is never mainstream and if the name Jesus becomes mainstream it is a different Jesus. He must be altered to appeal to the masses.

We have only seen glimpses of the lion... a whip in His hand overturning the corrupt money changers. A flash in His eyes and a bite to His words as He talked about religious leaders who were leading people astray.

Today we know the lamb. One day we will see the lion and all the history we have with Him when He was on the 'outs' will be brought into a throne room.

"He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God [is] with him, and the shout of a king [is] among them." - Numbers 23:21 KJV David's men shivered with him in a caves but they heard the shout of a King on the battle field.

Can you hear His voice?

"When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "IT IS FINISHED," and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit." - John 19:30 ESV

That is the shout of a King!
