Names of God

  • King of Kings

    Last week’s name was Lamb of God. This week we have King of Kings. Could the contrast be any greater? The Passover Lamb, crucified for our sins, is the King above all Kings. We see the name in Revelation 19:16 And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written: “KING OF…
