Which King is KING?

This was a mini sermon posted by my friend Rick Rossing, on Facebook.
I love the way he thinks! I had to share this with you today. Just had to.

Michael Jackson was the King of Pop. When he died, millions cried. Thousands went to his funeral. Millions watched it on TV. Everyone wanted everyone else to know that they were friends of his. Michael Jackson impersonators are beginning to pop up everywhere. People are flocking to Neverland to walk where he walked and pay homage. But in a hundred years, who will really remember?

Elvis Presley was the King of Rock and Roll. When he died, millions cried. Many went to his funeral, and many watched it replayed on the news. Everyone wanted everyone else to know that they were friends of his. Elvis impersonators still pop up everywhere. People still trek to Graceland to walk where he walked and pay homage. But in a hundred years, who will really remember?

Jesus Christ was the King of Kings. When he died, thousands cheered. Only a handful of people stuck around to lay him in the tomb. Even people who knew him denied it. But after a few days, people started seeing him everywhere. His tomb is empty. Millions now take pilgrimages to the Holy Land to walk where he walked and pay homage, and millions more seek to be imitators of Christ. It's been almost two thousand years, and millions of people remember.

So which king do you follow? The king of pop, the king of rock, or the king of kings?
Do you want to live in Neverland, Graceland, or the Holy Land?

Jesus' tomb is empty. His promises are not.

Peace.
