Christ The King Sunday

This Sunday is Christ The King which ends the church calendar or church year. Where the church calendar begins and ends is significant for how we think about Christian worship and our faith in following Christ. Christ The King is a gathering point of the meaning of the Christian life. All of our life hope and all of our expectation is set on the kingship of Jesus. But, what does it mean to say that Christ is the king? It's the idea, hope, and expectation that God would raise up the line of David and that the king would rule forever, but not just king of the Jews, but king over all the world.

As we behold the face of God in the face of Christ, we are transformed into his image. This is what it means to be fully human—to become like Jesus, the truly human one, and to grow more and more in the freedom of the children of God.
