Season of End Times, Sunday, November 21, 2021

Christ the King Sunday

Readings for this Service: Season of End Times, #4

First Lesson: Daniel 7:13-14. The Prophet Daniel sees a vision of Jesus ruling as our eternal King.

Second Lesson and Sermon Text: Revelation 1:4-8. Of all the ways in which Christ could have shown his glory, he picked this one: to redeem us by his suffering and death so that we should live with him for all eternity.

Verse of the Day: Revelation 22:13. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

Gospel: John 18:33-37. Pilate was confused when he heard that Jesus was a king. Jesus IS a king. In fact his kingdom is not of this world and his citizens are believers who listen to him.

The Sermon: Rejoice! Christ the King Is Coming! Revelation 1:4-8.

The verses tell us what we’ll see happening on the Last Day, but they also teach us some truths that are in effect now. One of those truths is how Jesus’ reign as Christ the King is timeless.

His reign is a saving reign that is timeless and almighty.

Look to Jesus as the Christ who freed you from your sins by the blood he shed on the cross.

Look to Jesus as the King who chiefly uses his almighty power to save you from your sins and to assure you of it.

Make good use of your time of grace to bring others to faith so that they too may rejoice with you whe Christ our King finally comes.

Amen
