Xerxes 

                        The name Xerxes means ‘king’.  A king, according to the dictionary, is a male sovereign who is supreme or preeminent in a particular group, category, or sphere.  Jesus Christ is the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.  When Xerxes makes Him the king and ruler of his life he learns from Him how to govern his own life and affairs.

            Because of the nature of the meaning of his name the Lord may very well give Xerxes a few more hills to climb than most of us have to face. It is through the battles we face and overcome that we gain our strength. Xerxes has to be strong in order to rule as the Lord would have him to rule, with love and mercy.  It is through these battles, fought and won, that he also learns about weaknesses and how to overcome them.

             Understanding how to be an over- comer and a ruler causes him to be tender hearted in some ways. In others he may appear to be a little conservative and standoffish. Xerxes can even seem to be a bossy kind of guy. He is an upright guy, not one to lean on necessarily, but one to look up to and to be able to follow as he follows his Lord. 

Pro 25:28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
