I have just finished reading William Symington's book "Messiah the Prince."
This book is an excellent and depthy treatise on Christ's Mediatorial office of King.
Many would have Christ to be their saviour, but are they willing to also obey him as King of kings and Lord of lords?
The following is an extract from the conclusion to the book.

Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King !
Are the children of God in want? It cannot but rejoice them to know, that the spiritual Joseph is ruler over all the land, has under his
management the store-houses of nature and grace, and is ready to
satisfy every longing soul with ample supplies of wisdom, pardon,
holiness, joy, and strength. ‘Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and
rejoice in the Lord your God ; for he hath given you the former rain
moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the
former rain, and the latter rain in the first month, and the floors
shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.’
Are they placed amid temptations and trials? No consideration,
surely, can be more soothing, than that their Lord reigns, and has
every circumstance that can occur, every enemy that can arise,
completely under his control. ‘ God is our refuge and our strength, a
very present help in trouble : therefore will not we fear, though the
earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the
midst of the sea ; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. There is a river,
the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place
of the tabernacles of the Most High. God is in the midst of her ; she
shall not be moved : God shall help her, and that right early.’
Symington, 'Messiah the Prince'
