Two Kings

A king who says to his people, I want you to serve this other king who hates me has lost the plot, and will eventually lose his kingdom.

Jesus has not lost the plot.

Jesus said, “You cannot serve two masters (kurios - lord)”. “You will love (agape) one and despise (kataphroneo “think against”) the other”. Christians who choose to love their political rulers will eventually begin “thinking against” Jesus and his kingdom.
