The Crucified King (Christ the King Sunday)
“Jesus is Lord.” That statement is more than a personal profession of faith. It’s a statement of reality. Jesus Christ is Lord over all creation. All power and authority has been given to Him. But what does this mean in a world where His Lordship is sometimes very hard to see? What does it mean that our king is a crucified king?
From Series: "Christ the King"
On Christ the King Sunday we celebrate the Jesus as the one who is Lord over all. We look forward to the day of His re-appearance, the day of Resurrection, when His Kingship will be manifest to all creation. But what does it mean to say that Jesus is King, that He is Lord of All? As we consider the world around us and even our own lives, we sometimes have trouble seeing His kingship. How can He be King when there is so much suffering, pain, loss and evil in His world? What does it mean to confess that Jesus is King and to follow Him as Lord in a broken world?
