No King But Caesar

"But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him.  Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King?  The chief priests answered, We have no king, but Caesar."  John 19:15.  A rejection of Jesus Christ always makes Caesar king.  Their hearts could not be persuaded.  Their hatred of Jesus turned their heart to stone.  All that remained for them was Caesar.  Jesus or the world.  Which will it be?  The question comes to every heart.  A choice must be made.  Caesar's kingdom is temporary.  The kingdom of Jesus is eternal.  The kingdom of Caesar is earthly.  Christ's kingdom is heavenly.  Caesar's kingdom is worldly.  The kingdom of Christ is spiritual.  Christ reigns as King eternal.  The kingdom of Christ rules the heart.  The kingdom of Caesar rules the flesh.  The flesh dies and rots.  The heart lives forevermore.  The choice of the chief priests on that fateful day is the choice of today.  Every heart must decide who is king for either Christ or Caesar rules every soul.
