The Crucified King
Series: Season of Pentecost 2019
November 24, 2019
Rev. Jake Allstaedt
On this Last Sunday of the Church Year, also known as Christ the King Sunday, Luke's account of the Crucifixion (Luke 23:27-43) gives us a powerful reminder of the reign of God in Jesus. How does He reign? We prayed in our collect for today, "Lord Jesus Christ, you reign among us by the preaching of your cross." Our King rules with grace for sinners and life for the dead. The cross is His throne. His verdict to the thief is His verdict to us who have been crucified with Him in baptism.
