Samuel Davies was one of the greatest preachers that America has ever produced. Just prior to the Revolutionary War, he preached in London at Westminster Abbey, and the King of England was in attendance. Right in the middle of Davies' sermon, the King began talking with one of his attendants and he was being quite disruptive to the worship service. The American preacher paused, looked squarely at the King, and said, "When King Jesus speaks the rulers of the earth will be silent!" The King of England responded by bowing his head in shame.
Davies' point was clear, wasn't it? The truth is that even the King of England is not autonomous; he is not totally free to do whatever he will. Even the King of England is under the law of God and under the authority of the true King, Christ Jesus!
