![]() ![]() ![]() So I always have resented this day because the idea of the kingship of Christ may have meant something in the political climate 90 years ago but now it’s like celebrating Christ the CEO Sunday ![]() I mean, come on…What does “king” even mean to us these days? It’s something from history books or fairy tales to us. So like 90 years ago this day was added to the church year. In the fallout of World War One and amidst the Kaisers and Kings and Czars, it felt to the church that it was time to reassert that Czar Ferdinand or Kaiser Wilhelm isn’t king, Christ is king. I don’t like Christ the King Sunday because unlike Lent and holy week and Advent which have been celebrated for more than 1000 years, Christ the King has only been a part of the Liturgical calendar since the 1920s and it was added for sort of political reasons. The reason for this being my favorite, I will get to later in the sermon. But, in all fairness, my friend and colleague Reagan also scoffed at my favorite, which is O Holy Night. ![]()
