Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
- Hebrews 12:28 (NKJV)
History tells us on this day in 44BC Julius Caesar was murdered by his friends.
William Shakespeare’s version of events included a warning of the impending assassination by a soothsayer’s words “beware, the Ides of March”.
Nations rise and fall, leaders disappoint their people, kings and queens are replaced often after periods of war and not all of them were warned of the impending doom.
In many cases the fall of a ruler would do great harm to the nation which is why most world leaders today have a great security detail.
If you think about it, Jesus was also a man in power betrayed by someone close to Him.
Several of His disciples tried to protect Him but Jesus also knew how His story would end.
Fortunately for us the kingdom of God did not end with the death of Jesus.
When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we receive the kingdom of God that cannot be shaken or broken.
The kingdom of God is eternal, and it can be ours if we serve Him.
No need to beware the ides of March or any other month when we serve a mighty God and King.
