Christ the King
Nov. 26, 2017 | The Rez
Good morning and welcome.
If you’ve been with us over the past few weeks you’ll know that we’ve been exploring faith, hope, and love, waking to new life in Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians.
Today we’re breaking new ground as we celebrate Christ the King.
If we think of the Christian calendar, this is not only the culmination of a long stretch of ordinary time since Pentecost—when walk by the Spirit even while longing for Jesus’ return— but it’s also the entry point to the season of Advent.
So, together we’re looking far off into some other time to see Jesus as king, in the grandest sense, when he’ll finally return in glory to make things right.
At the same time, we find ourselves among God’s people in ancient times longing for the coming of the Messiah.
We’ve got two vantage points today, at two extremes: we’re journeying to the very end of all things with Jesus leading the way, but we’re also returning to the beginning, hoping against hope that God’s promises could somehow come true.
Our Gospel reading for today is from Mt. 25:31-46
