Mankind's Cry In This Hour

"The king is revealed in the time of the flood. Smaller personalities appear kingly when the waters are smooth; they disappear at the flood...I will yield the crown of my obedience to the One Who proves to be king at the flood." (Biblical Illustrator) Why do we need a King? What is the cry of mankind in this hour? Has God provided a King in answer to man's cry? Has the world received God's King? Has the Church received God's King? What about you?
