LETTERS
FROM THE KING

Topics: Bible; Christ’s Love; Christ the King; Word of God

Reference: John 1:14

Bouch, a waiter at a tavern in Chicago, wrote to the king of his homeland, Morocco. King Mohammed VI, who often interacts with his subjects in public and has freed political prisoners as well as helped the poor and disabled, wrote back.

“Look at the letters,” said Bouch. “These are letters from the king. If I meet him, I’ll be so happy.”

You think King Mohammed VI loves his subjects? You ought to meet Jesus, the King of Kings, and read his precious letters to you.
