Humble King | Biblical Images of God PT 8 | EP209

In this final episode of our mini-series, “Biblical Images of God Pt 8: Humble King,” Walking The Text content director Brad Nelson explores the image that brings all the others together—God as the humble king. We all crave control—but it’s exhausting trying to rule our own lives. From ancient myths to modern headlines, humanity is fascinated with royalty. But could that obsession be pointing to something deeper—a longing not for power, but for the return of a true and trustworthy king?

This teaching traces the biblical story of kingship from Genesis to Jesus. In the beginning, God creates humans to co-rule with Him, reflecting His character through service, humility, and love. But from Eden to Israel, we’ve rejected His rule. Still, God doesn’t walk away—He steps in. When Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey, he declares that the kingdom of heaven has come near. But it’s not the kind of kingdom we expect. It’s not about conquest—it’s about a cross.

Jesus is the King who embodies every image we’ve explored: the Rock, the Shepherd, the Living Water, the Faithful Farmer. He is the one our hearts were made for. So the question is this: What would it look like to step off the throne of your own life and give your allegiance to Him? Join us as we unpack what it means to surrender our little kingdoms and live under the healing, loving reign of King Jesus—because when you do, you’ll find the freedom, rest, and purpose your soul has been aching for all along.
