Psalm 93

1 Our LORD, you are King!
Majesty and power are your royal robes.
You put the world in place, and it will never be moved.
2 You have always ruled, and you are eternal.

3 The ocean is roaring, LORD! The sea is pounding hard.
4 Its mighty waves are majestic,
but you are more majestic, and you rule over all.
5 Your decisions are firm,
and your temple will always be beautiful and holy.

Daniel 7

9 Thrones were set up while I was watching,
and the Eternal God took his place.
His clothing and his hair were white as snow.
His throne was a blazing fire with fiery wheels,
10 and flames were dashing out from all around him.
Countless thousands were standing there to serve him.
The time of judgment began,
and the books were opened.

13 As I continued to watch the vision that night,
I saw what looked like a son of man
coming with the clouds of heaven,
and he was presented to the Eternal God.
14 He was crowned king and given power and glory,
so that all people of every nation and race
would serve him.
He will rule forever, and his kingdom is eternal,
never to be destroyed.

Revelation 1

4b I pray that you will be blessed with kindness and peace
from God, who is and was and is coming.
May you receive kindness and peace
from the seven spirits before the throne of God.
5 May kindness and peace be yours
from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness.

Jesus was the first to conquer death,
and he is the ruler of all earthly kings.
Christ loves us, and by his blood
he set us free from our sins.
6 He lets us rule as kings
and serve God his Father as priests.
To him be glory and power forever and ever! Amen.
7 Look! He is coming with the clouds.
Everyone will see him,
even the ones who stuck a sword through him.
All people on earth will weep because of him.
Yes, it will happen! Amen.

8 The Lord God says, “I am Alpha and Omega, the one who is and was and is coming. I am God All-Powerful!”

John 18

33 Pilate then went back inside. He called Jesus over and asked, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
34 Jesus answered, “Are you asking this on your own or did someone tell you about me?”
35 “You know I’m not a Jew!” Pilate said. “Your own people and the chief priests brought you to me. What have you done?”
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom doesn’t belong to this world. If it did, my followers would have fought to keep me from being handed over to our leaders. No, my kingdom doesn’t belong to this world.”
37 “So you are a king,” Pilate replied.
“You are saying that I am a king,” Jesus told him. “I was born into this world to tell about the truth. And everyone who belongs to the truth knows my voice.”
