How Jesus Is King -- Luke 23:33-43 (Christ the King Sunday)
November 24, 2019
•
Rev. Scott Clark
For Christ the King Sunday, we engage Luke 23:33-43, a glimpse of Jesus on the cross, and his conversation with one of those crucified with him. This sermon considers (1) how, in our power and privilege, we should take care in how we claim that Christ is king; (2) how, for those whose backs are up against the wall, we affirm that Christ is king over every power in the world; and (3) how Christ the King, on the cross, enters even the deepest ditch of our suffering, and holds us close in the heart of God.
