The Greatness of the King

God is Not Great! Thus, declared the former atheist Christopher Hitchens in the title of his 2007 book, which was a case against the greatness of God. The adjective, former is appropriate, not because he became a theist, but because he died on December 15, 2011. Certainly, he is no longer an atheist. Surely, God is now proving to him that his thesis was wrong. Matthew 5:17-20 is meant to have that effect on us, during our Earthly life before we die. Though many may not see it in those four verses, they communicate that Jesus is a great King who deserves our life. This passage has 3 aspects of what he has done that warrant us giving our lives to him.
