I imagined a room large enough to fill with the greatest number of earthly kings and rulers; those at the pinnacle of their personal power and glory. I saw them react as the King of Kings entered the room. A King whose power and glory which is so far above their own, it is incomprehensible. A King with the authority to command the elements and wisdom to create flesh from the very earth we dwell upon. As this King entered the room all the earthy kings and rulers went to great lengths to prostate themselves in the presence of immeasurable glory. As the King of Glory made His way to the head of the room and took His place above all He did something peculiar. He motioned to the lowest of man, the basest creature on earth. One unworthy to entertain the presence of even the lowest of rulers, let alone the King of Glory. This King far above all beckoned the wretched to His side. He gifted this wretch with new garments, gave him a signet ring of authority and a small crown, which held the title: "son and friend'. this King of Glory had taken the lowest and raised him above the highest of man; and for no other reason than it was His good pleasure to do so.
This is amazing grace born out of unfailing love, this action is a profound mystery for I am that wretch as are we all. And yet the King of Glory holds out His hand to each of us beckoning us to His side with garment, ring, and crown waiting for all who accept His offer.
And today the King has set His gaze upon you!
Luther.

Wow, what an amazing way to picture the King of Glory. And how even the least important is the most important in His eyes.
