Christ Our King

We Americans don’t like the notion of Kings and Queens ruling over us. We tried it once and it didn’t work out well. But deep down, we know that we aren’t all individually in control either. Acknowledging that Christ is the ruler of the world and of our lives is a scary thing. But there is nothing to be afraid of. Christ is the one truly good King – the one who will neither let us down nor enslave us. He rules by love, not by force. And it is only by subjecting ourselves to his rule that we are made truly free.
