Christ is not the power-hungry, selfishly-greed king that ya’ll are used to: A Sermon for Christ the King Sunday

Grace and peace to you,

My sisters,

Brothers

And

Siblings in Christ

If we raise our voices

And sing hymns declaring Christ as Lord,

and we wear this mask of obedience,

Why then,

Are we surprised

When we are called on the carpet

About our resistance of not living out our faith,

Through action

And those seeking solitude and solidarity and rest

Instead, finding people of faith,

rooted in our stubbornness

Hesitating to follow the One

Who we have crowned

Christ Our King,

Refusing to react to injustice,

With a call for restitution

To love mercifully,

Without conditions

From the other

and

And to walk humbly,
