Christ the King

The last Sunday before Advent is usually marked as Christ the King Sunday. It is a significant occasion for believers as it draws our attention back to the Sovereignty of Jesus. In a time when leaders scramble for power and worldly leadership is often self-centered, we would do well to honour Christ as our King and Saviour. 

1 Timothy 1:17 - “To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

Revelation 19:6 - “On his robe and on his thigh, he has a name inscribed King of kings and Lord of lords.” 

Elizabeth Joy-Lawrence wrote: "We need Christ the King Sunday because we need to remember that our ultimate hope is not in any human being, but in Christ.”

      Thought: How could Christ the King Sunday change the way we live our daily lives?

When is it half-time?

I had to laugh the other day. It was during the Confirmation service on Sunday evening and Josh (who is now 8) leaned over and asked me "when is it half time?" Now, I am not sure if that is exactly what he said, but it sounded like that to me. In truth, he may have been asking 'when is it home time', but I still chuckled to myself.

By the way, I didn't have the heart to tell him that when we get to heaven, we will be worshipping Jesus day and night :)

Revelation 7:15 - This is the reason they are before God’s throne. They worship him day and night in his temple, and the one seated on the throne will shelter them.
