NOVEMBER 21, 2021 – CHRIST THE KING SUNDAY
Rev. Denise Clark-Jones
“WHO’S MY KING”
Christ the King is the last Sunday of “Ordinary Time,” which draws the church year to a close. This day completes the Christian journey through the life of Jesus Christ on earth and in heaven, which began with the preparation for the birth of Jesus in Advent. Today we celebrate Christ’s kingship over all creation and are reminded that as Christians our loyalty lies with the kingship of Christ before worldly powers. In our reading from 2 Samuel, we have a poetic rendition of the Last Words of David, the most revered king of Israel. In Psalm 93, the psalmist declares the sovereign majesty of the Lord that surpasses even the mightiest thunders of his creation. The gospel reading from John depicts Pilate asking Jesus if he is king of the Jews. In response, Jesus says that his kingdom is “not of this world.” In Revelation, we anticipate the glorious vision of Christ’s second coming, when everyone will behold his everlasting reign.

Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in .
your well-beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully
grant that the peoples of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may
be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule; who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
