Bible Reading: Luke 23:33-43
Dear Friends,
This Sundays is called Christ the King Sunday and it celebrates the role of Jesus as ruler over all the universe. However, it’s important to recall that despite this, Jesus is king because he is a humble servant. Jesus’ kingship is one of power and might, but also love and humility, as demonstrated by his life on earth.
For those who carefully observe the events of the Christian year it is the last Sunday before Advent begins. As such, it helps worshipers who are already thinking about Christmas to remember that the event of Christmas is about much more than a baby in a manger it’s about a sovereign Christ.
The theme of the Lordship of Christ is integral to the message of the entire New Testament and certainly to the faithful practice of Christian worship. So, this Sunday aims to focus our attention and our worship on the cosmic character of Christ’s reign over the world.
