Jesus Remember Me
May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Today is Christ the King Sunday, the end of the church year. Next Sunday, will be Advent 1 and we will once again start a journey of waiting for the promised Messiah. But today we remember, we hold fast, we celebrate as though all that is to come has and is made known.
"Be still, then, and know that (He is) I am God; * When we stop, when we confess, when we reflect that Christ is King in and over all things. We begin see things differently. We begin to hear his heartbeat and know that though the challenges of life may not fade, God is near, we are his, and He can be trusted. All we have is his and all we are is found only by being with him.
If you were to describe your faith as a child running into the arms of your heavenly Father: what would your life, what would the picture of your faith reveal?
There is more. God has more for you know, love, and enjoy today than yesterday and still even more for tomorrow. Will you, will you dare believe and confess Christ as King and run into the arms of your heavenly Father and encounter that which only God can give.
Will you, will you dare not just to run for a moment, but would be still and know? Would you rest in His arms of mercy and begin to hear His heartbeat and adjust your rhythm of life to his that you would indeed experience His presence, His power, and His purposes in and through your life?
Those who do will find that Jesus whispers into your heart and soul: today you will be with me in Paradise.
