"The King"? Bad things happen to men that allow themselves to be idolized and called "the greatest". Other examples include Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, who both suffered humiliating ends after being called "the king". The True King is none other than Jesus Christ. And he also suffered a humiliating end: the death on the cross. They put a sign on his cross with this accusation: KING OF THE JEWS. He died not for pride or for his sin, because he is already meek and never sinned, but he died for us sinners, who need salvation and freedom from this wicked world of bondage.

So men, if you allow yourself to be praised as the greatest, or to be The King, prepare to be humbled, because God is against the proud, but he honors the humble.

We deserve to be crucified, for our apostasy from God... and for our sins. Jesus took our place, for those of us that will receive him as The King. He gave his life for us, buying us from our adversary, paying for us with his blood. What other king would allow himself to be humiliated for the sake of his people, to save them from ruin? I cannot think of any other.

Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
