Birth of a King: King of Shalom

Long ago, being a king meant you had total authority over your people. Kings held the power of life and death, and they controlled their nation’s army. When Israel was under Roman domination, they longed for a king to free them from tyranny, a king with the power to make things happen. It was into that world that Jesus was born, the one we know as the King of hope, the King of Joy, the King of Shalom, the King of kings!

Luke 1:46-56
