When men worship Jesus Christ,
they do not fall at his feet in broken submission but in wondering love.
A man does not say, 'I cannot resist a might like that.'
He says, 'Love so amazing, so divine, demands my life, my soul, my all.'
A man does not say, 'I am battered into surrender.'
He says, 'I am lost in wonder, love, and praise.'
- William Barclay
Thinking back to our study this morning in the book of Esther. King Xerxes was a man with insatiable desire for power and honor and rule. He was approached in fear.
Such a contrast to our relationship with King Jesus. He is all-powerful, deserving of all honor, ruler of all. Yet we need not approach Him in fear, for He bids us, "Come unto me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).
