Christ the King Sunday l Bob Reid

On Christ the King Sunday we celebrate that Jesus is the rightful King of this world and that one day his reign over the world and all people will be realized fully. The image of a sovereign ruling over people is a tough image to get excited about given humankind’s history. However, Jesus’s rule is fundamentally unlike the deeply flawed and downright evil rulers that we have known. Jesus is the King that says: trust me because I have no agenda that is other than your well being. Jesus is never working an angle. We’ll talk about this wonderful and quintessential aspect of the gospel this Sunday with an eye to how it can transform our lives.
