Everyone Is Subject To Christ

James VI of Scotland was notoriously rude when attending worship services. On one occasion he was seated in his gallery with several courtiers while Robert Bruce preached. In his usual form James began to talk to those around him during the sermon. Bruce paused, the king fell silent. The Minister resumed and so did James. Bruce ceased speaking a second time with the same result. When the king committed his third offense Bruce turned and addressed James directly: "It is said to have been an expression of the wisest kings; 'When the lion roars, all the beasts of the field are quiet. The Lion of the Tribe of Judah is now roaring in the voice of his Gospel, and it becomes all the petty kings of the earth to be silent.'"
