Christ the King

On Christ the King Sunday, we rise up together and crown Jesus
King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

He has redeemed us by His blood.
He has freed us from death and from the guilt and power of sin.
He is our Savior, our Shepherd,
our Sacrifice, our Priest,
our Teacher, our Advocate, our Prince.

Now His procession approaches, and we hear the cry,
Lift up your heads, O gates,
And lift them up, O ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in!
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. (Psalm24:9-10, NASB)

The numberless throng all around us is shouting wildly,
“Hosanna to the Son of David!”
“Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Hosanna in the highest!” (Matthew 21:9, NASB)

Every eye is fixed on Him as He enters and approaches the throne.
God has ascended with a shout,
The Lord, with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises;
Sing praises to our King, sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth…
God reigns over the nations. (Psalm 47:5-8, NASB)

Then loud voices from heaven announce,
The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ;
and He will reign forever and ever.”
(Revelation 11:15, NASB)

On Christ the King Sunday, we rise up together and crown Jesus
King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
This is the culmination, not only of each year, but of all history.
Come, Lord Jesus!
