Christ Must be Our Absolute Monarch
2 Corinthians 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God…


When we are in the right condition Christ and not self occupies the centre of our being. Then it is that He reigns with unhindered sway as King within. The writer not long since heard one who had been a Christian many years describe the nature of the blessing he had recently received in the following words: "I had heard of Christ being King. Well, He had reigned in me, but it was only as a constitutional sovereign. I was Prime Minister, and I did a good deal of the work myself. Then I found that He must be absolute Monarch. And so now He is."

(E. Hopkins, M. A.)
