Christ the King Sunday

The only access we have to Jesus is through the Christ who is the object of our faith — the Christ who lived and died and rose for us, who intercedes for us as our Great High Priest, and who will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. It is alone through Jesus Christ that we have any knowledge of Jesus of Nazareth.

Jesus will not be forced into doing our bidding. He walks away from propping up our agendas on the warrant of his authority.

As the king of all, Jesus could have come down from the cross, as the bystanders dared him to do.

The Word preached that one last time to that practical philosopher Pontius Pilate, and he spoke of the truth.

The levity of the saints is a lightness that is bright with mirth, heavy with joy, thick with intention and devotion.
