[Sunday] Christ the King Sunday 2023
Just as Christ is “the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end,” at the close of every liturgical year, we look forward, with renewed hope, to Christ’s coming again in glory to reign as Lord forever. In the same way, we also look forward to our own resurrection and the time of a new earth — an earth that is no longer broken by sin and groaning. Christ will come again in glory just as surely as He came the first time, when He was born. So we have these three weeks of “transition” at the end of the “long green season” into the Advent Season: the new beginning of the liturgical year.
QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Christ The King
Skim over Matthew 23-25. What is Jesus primarily talking about? How does it make you feel?
Think of a time when things seemed out of control in your life, where did you think God was in that time?
Read Matthew 25:31. At the end times where does Jesus say he (the son of man) will be?
Read Matthew 25:32-40. How do the sheep (the righteous) respond when Jesus tells them all the good kingdom of God work they had been doing and welcomes them into His kingdom? Think of a time when you didn’t realize when God was doing His Kingdom work through you as you were His hands and feet loving others.
The Kids sing "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" And they also play "First Noel" on the Bells!
