His Crown Isn’t Up for Grabs

Zechariah 14:9 And the LORD will be the King of the whole world. At that time all people will worship him as the only LORD with only one name.

Elon Musk is, without doubt, a polarising figure. But he’s also a visionary of staggering brilliance. He’s reshaped entire industries—from motor vehicles to space travel—with relentless innovation. He dreams of colonising Mars, merging minds with machines, extending human life, ultimately casting humanity as its own saviour.

But in his soaring ambition, Musk sidesteps the Creator. God’s become unnecessary in his gospel of progress, where ultimate hope lies in human innovation, not grace. And he’s by no means alone.

Let’s face it, the majority of the human race has rejected the one true God, who sent Jesus His Son to be our Saviour by dying on that Cross to pay for our sins, and rising again to give us a whole new life for all eternity. Like the builders of the Tower of Babel, humanity reaches for the heavens without bowing to heaven’s King.

So, how will it all end? Are the Elon Musks of this world correct? Is science really the answer? Can humanity really become its own saviour?

Zechariah 14:9 And the LORD will be the King of the whole world. At that time all people will worship him as the only LORD with only one name.

Make no mistake. Our lives are coming to an end. This whole world is heading inexorably toward its ultimate, apocalyptic end. And on that day, all the science, all the human brilliance and endeavour in the world won’t save us. On that day, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
