Why should believers not call Jesus 'our King'?
Paul never calls Christ the King of the Church. For members of the Body of Christ, He is Savior, Lord, and Head—not King. If He were the Church's King, believers would be subjects rather than joint heirs with Christ; the Body relationship is closer.
Les teaches that in verse 17 Paul refers to Christ as the King—eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God—and Christ is the theme of everything Paul writes. But Les warns that members of the Body of Christ should never refer to Christ as their King. He is not our King; He is the Head of the Body, our Savior, and our Lord. Paul never calls Him the King of the Church. If He were the Church's King, believers would merely be subjects under a King rather than joint heirs with Christ. The Body relationship is far closer than being subjects of a King. Les encourages checking this by studying Paul's letters.
