Revelation 1:1-4 ~ Christ the King Sunday

Christ the King Sunday concludes the liturgical church year. On this Sunday, we celebrate again the unchanging truth that Jesus has become the king of the world and has put all things under his feet. While it does not always feel this way, we know God is still in charge even in our broken and messed up world. As an old hymn puts it: though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet. This Sunday we meet the risen and reigning King in the vision of John from Revelation 1 and we look forward to the day when all things, even death itself, submit to his reign.
