  • Solemnity of Christ the King - B
    Solemnity of Christ the King - B Note: Where a Scripture text is underlined in the body of this discussion, it is recommended that the reader look up and read that passage. Introduction Instituted by Pius XI in 1926, this feast was celebrated on the last Sunday of October to foster the awareness of Christ’s dominion over all people and to establish peace among nations. After Vatican Council II the feast was transferred to the last Sunday of the Liturgical Year, the Sunday before Advent, on which the human race is consecrated to the Sacred Heart through the Litany of the Sacred Heart and a prayer recited before the Blessed Sacrament. This feast celebrates Christ’s Kingship in an altogether non-worldly way. Jesus was anointed by the Father with the oil of gladness as the Eternal Priest and Universal King. As Priest He offered His life on the altar of the Cross and redeemed the human race by this one perfect sacrifice of peace. As King He claims dominion over all creation that He may present to the almighty Father a Kingdom of truth and life, a Kingdom of holiness and grace, a Kingdom of justice, love, and peace. 1st Reading - Daniel 7:13-14 Last week we heard from Daniel’s fourth apocalyptic vision as our first reading and referred to our reading for today as part of our study of the Gospel. Today’s first reading is from Daniel’s first apocalyptic vision, the vision of the four beasts, which occupies all of chapter 7. The Jerome Biblical Commentary and The New Jerome Biblical Commentary both say that “all exegetes now agree that the four beasts of this vision stand for the four successive pagan empires:” a) The Babylonians b) The Medes c) The Persians d) The Greeks I am going to disagree.

  • Reflection for the Feast of Christ the King
    Reflection for the Feast of Christ the King Almighty ever-living God, whose will is to restore all things in your beloved Son, the King of the universe, grant we pray, that the whole creation, set free from slavery, may render your majesty service and ceaselessly proclaim your praise. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Collect for Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe The Feast of Christ the King that we celebrate today is a relatively recent addition to the Liturgical Calendar. Pope Pius XI instituted this Feast in 1925 with his encyclical Quas Primas (In the First), and the Feast was first celebrated on October 31, 1926. Due to concern about a growing secularism and nationalism in the world Pope Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King to remind all of us of the universal nature of our Lord and the connection that we have to one another due to the fact that we are all part of God’s creation. Viewing Christ as the King of the Universe is not an idea that developed in the 20th century, rather this concept dates back to the start of Christianity and has its roots in the Jewish faith and the belief in the Messiah, the Savior of the world. We can read from the works of St. Cyril of Alexandria who was born in 376 and died in 444 and was the Bishop of Alexandria Egypt.

Therefore God has highly exalted him, and bestowed on him the name above every name; PLEASE LEAVE THIS BOOKLET AT THE CHURCH DOOR That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

  • Weekly Worship for 22 November
    Twenty-fifth Sunday after Pentecost – Christ the King Twenty-fifth Sunday after Pentecost – 22 November 2020 The Faith Nurture Forum would like to thank Revd Professor Charlotte Methuen, Professor of Ecclesiastical History, University of Glasgow, Assistant Priest, St Margaret Newlands, SEC, for her thoughts on the twenty-fifth Sunday after Pentecost. “We may not be gathered in the same building, but at this time, when we need each other so much, we are invited to worship together, from where we are – knowing that God can hear us all and can blend even distant voices into one song of worship.” National Worship Team As the restrictions on our ability to meet in groups continue and uncertainty about access to church buildings extends through the autumn and into winter, worship leaders continue to deliver their services both online and offline. We can help to facilitate participation from the whole congregation by exploring imaginative approaches to our use of technology in the service in ways that suit both physical gatherings and video-conference style settings, such as: • Opening and closing moments of worship that help people mark out a time set apart with God • Introducing various parts of the worship service to help worshippers understand the character and purpose of each one (framing) • Enabling conversations or prayers in breakout groups • Holding spaces that allow people to go deeper in worship • Using the chat function and microphone settings to allow people to actively participate in prayer, e.g. saying the Lord’s Prayer together unmuted, in a moment of ‘holy chaos’ • Using music and the arts as part of the worship Useful links: Up to date information for churches around Covid-19 can be found here Useful tips for creating and leading worship online can be found here You can listen to samples of every song in the Church Hymnary 4th edition (CH4) and download a selection of recordings for use in worship here Introduction ..................................................................................................

  • Christology Part 4 the King, Humiliated & Exalted • What Offices
    Christology Part 4 The King, Humiliated & Exalted • What offices does Christ fill as our Redeemer? Jesus Christ, as our Redeemer, fills the offices of Prophet, of Priest, and of King, both in His humiliation and exaltation. Summary: Jesus is the only Redeemer, which God providentially ordained from eternity, to be the perfect Prophet, Priest and King. Christ is the Prophet who reveals God most fully to us in His word and work. The Lord Jesus is the Priest who makes the ultimate sacrifice of Himself in order to reconcile all His own to the Father. Finally, Jesus is the King of everything; He is the sovereign over all. Jesus is now King. Isaiah 9:6-7 – For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this. John 18:36-37 – Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king.
