The following reflection is courtesy of Don Schwager (c) 2016, whose website is located at www.dailyscripture.net Meditation: Do you recognize that the Lord Jesus has been given all authority and power by his Father in heaven to reign over all creation - including the heavens and the earth? Jesus was crucified for his claim to be the Anointed King sent by the Father in heaven (John 18:37 and Luke 23:38) to establish his kingdom not only for his people Israel, but for all nations and peoples as well (Daniel 7:13-14; Matthew 24:30 and Matthew 26:63-64). God is King and Ruler over all What is the significance and meaning of Jesus' kingship for us? Kingship today seems outdated and useless, especially in democratic societies where everyone is supposed to be treated equal and free. Many rulers in past ages claimed they had sovereign authority to rule by divine edict. But God did not give his people Israel a king at first. Why? Because God alone was their King and they needed no other. Nonetheless, God relented and chose David as King over Israel with the promise that God would raise up through David's royal line a Savior who would establish an everlasting kingdom of righteousness and peace that would endure for all ages (Psalm 89:29). The Jews understood that the Messiah ("Anointed One" would come as God's anointed King to restore paradise and establish God's reign of peace for them. They wanted a Messianic King who would free them from strife and division and from foreign oppression. Many had high hopes that Jesus would be the Messiah and Ruler for Israel. Little did they understand what kind of kingship Jesus claimed to possess. Jesus' claim to kingship Jesus came to deliver his people, and the whole world, from the worst kind of tyranny possible - from bondage to sin, guilt and condemnation, and from the wages of sin which is death (Romans 6:23) and separation from an all-merciful and just Father who gave us his son to set us free and to adopt us as his beloved sons and daughters. Jesus came to conquer hearts and souls for an imperishable kingdom - a kingdom ruled not by force or fear - but by the power of God's righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17). When Satan tempted Jesus during his forty day fast in the wilderness, he offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world (Matthew 4:8-9). Jesus knew that the world was in Satan's power. And this was precisely why Jesus came - to overthrow Satan's power and deception over the earth. Jesus knew that the way to victory was through submission to his Father's will and plan to lay down his life for us and reverse the curse of sin and death for us. The Father sent his only begotten Son into the world, not to condemn it, but to save it through the atoning sacrifice which Jesus would make for us through the shedding of his blood on the cross of Calvary. Jesus came to restore Paradise for us - everlasting life with God As Jesus was crucified on the cross alongside two criminals who were thieves, one mocked him for his claim to divine kingship. But the other thief recognized through the eyes of faith that Jesus was truly God's Anointed King and Savior. He petitioned Jesus to treat his poor soul with mercy and pardon, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom" (Luke 23:42). Jesus not only granted him forgiveness, but a place with him in his everlasting kingdom. "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." Jesus died not only as King of the Jews, but as King of all nations and Lord of the universe. His victory over the power of sin, Satan, and the world was accomplished through his atoning death on the cross and his resurrection on the third day. Jesus exchanged a throne of glory for a cross of shame to restore us from slavery to sin to glory with God as his adopted sons and daughters. That is why the Father exalted his Son and raised him in glory over the heavens and the earth. In the Book of Revelation Jesus is called King of kin 4 Likes |

The churchs' calendar ends today, The vestments are changed to purple starting from today to signify temporary darkness while awaiting the coming of Christ on Christmas day... but strangely, There's something about today that lifts the spirit and put one in a state of intense happiness and self- confidence: The Adoration... The Procession... The Atmosphere... HAIL THE KING Jesus THE CHRIST see ya after the Procession... leaves with an extra footwear and money for enough pure water 2 Likes |

I'm not here to defend any church doctrine but I think people should watch their mouth. I remember few years ago the orthodox church was criticised for reading prayers from books, today a lot of other churches are now reading prayers from devotionals. My point is be careful of casting faults and blames to other people's doctrines, instead pray for the Church of Jesus Christ. 2 Likes |

Pavore9:The Pope in his human capacity tried to use his position as a Pope to control government. The government refused becuase the church lack the power to demonstrate what they wanted. If Jesus or Holy Spirit has manifested and there are diverse miracles, the corpse Christi should have demostrated his mighty power and government has no reason to give up. The Bible , not the pope has said a lot about Jesus Christ and power of Holy Spirit. There are diverse healing and the dead was raised to life, the blind see, and the lame walk. Today the church is talking of ceremonial Pope without the power of Holy Ghost working and till now they popes are president of their own government with capital in Rome. What I am saying here is that Christ is the head of all church and without him what you will have is government. Christ said we should preach the word of salvation to set the captives free, make the lake work and the blind set. So it is not just a March past or ceremony to be remembered. It is a work to be done repeatedly and till today those who search the Bible are richly blessed with diverse powers. |
