Living in Tense Times: Confident in Christ’s Domain

Whenever you come to the end of a major period of time, it’s appropriate to look back and reflect. On this last Sunday of the Church year, we rejoice in the fulfillment of God’s plan for our salvation through Christ our King. When we examine the life of Christ and his body the Church, we do not immediately see power and honor and glory. But our King’s reign is well-hidden in his humility. We rejoice because Christ our King reigns—the King who once came as a sacrifice; the King who still shepherds us day by day; the King who one day will conquer all our enemies. Rejoice in his reign and look forward to the day when every knee will bow with us before the King of kings and Lord of lords! Lord, keep us joyful in Christ our King as we await his triumphant return!
