Day 15 – The Blessed and Only Potentate
1Ti 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
Good morning, reader! I love today’s title for our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ! He is the blessed and only Potentate! Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines “potentate” as:
PO’TENTATE, n. A person who possesses great power or sway; a prince; a sovereign; an emperor, king or monarch.
Exalting him not only above earthly princes and potentates, but above the highest of the celestial hierarchy.
Our verse finishes that Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords. That leads us to believe that He is also the Potentate of potentates. Jesus is above all, amen? He is not only the highest of celestial hierarchy but of earthly hierarchy. Not only is there is no greater Potentate but:
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Amen and amen! Salvation can only come from the One and only Potentate, Jesus Christ!
