ASLC Devotions - Tuesday

Isaiah 33:22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our ruler,
   the Lord is our king; he will save us. 

Last Sunday we celebrate Christ the King Sunday. This is a relatively new festival of the church, invented in the year 1925. I think that's important. The feast was started because the pope at the time, Pius XI wanted to remind Christians that Christ is our king as opposed to anything else. Christ is our king as not Mussolini. Christ is our king and not Hitler or Stalin. Christ is our king and not any earthly person or system.

This makes this a really important festival even today, in my eyes. I think it's still very important to use to remember that Christ is our king and not MSNBC or Fox News. Christ is our king and not left or right notions about what's right and wrong. Christ is our king and not any preconceived notions. This week, as we give thanks, I invite you to give thanks for the kingship of Jesus Christ.

In Christ,
Pastor Seth
