Submission to Government (I)

The most basic and fundamental Christian confession is that which declares: Jesus Christ is Lord. Because we so often refer to the Lordship of Christ as that which is necessary for salvation, and it is, we may fail to recognize that is also a political statement. When we say that Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords we're clarifying that he is over all earthly kings or lords or presidents or Prime Ministers, etc. And these rulers must serve the LORD and kiss the Son (Ps. 2). Yes, we are commanded to submit to the governing authorities, but that submission is not absolute.
