Christ The King Reflecting on God’s Word When we think of Christ the King, we usually do not think of Jesus hanging on the cross, but rather the risen Christ, seated at the right hand of the Father, wearing the crown bestowed upon him by the Father. But Luke presents us with an image of Christ whose reign begins on the cross with his promise of Paradise to a thief hanging at his side. Jesus brings about the kingdom even in the last moment of his life, extending the mercy of God to yet another nameless outsider, a thief “condemned justly” to death (Luke 23:41). This man recognizes Jesus both as a man who “has done nothing criminal,” but also one who is about to “come into [his] kingdom” (23:41, 42). The kingdom of God that Jesus proclaimed as being “already in your midst” is present in Jesus on the cross, extending mercy by asking God to forgive those who have crucified him, for “they know not what they do” (23:34). To the thief who asks Jesus to remember him when he comes into his kingdom, Jesus promises, “Today you will be with me in Paradise” (23:43). What wonderful words to bring the church year to a close. We might think of this dying thief as one who stole heaven at the last mo-ment, but perhaps that is inaccurate. How could it be a theft when Paradise was there for the taking? The crucified One himself being the king of hearts, the shepherd king lifted up one last time a beloved sheep who had wan-dered far astray but unexpectedly found himself at heaven’s door. If we call him king, it is because he was faithful to his calling, not to save himself but to save us.

Living God’s Word Let your heart speak to the thief in this story. Do you have anything to say to or ask him? Then, talk to Jesus about what you want most to ask from him, what you experience as your greatest need at this time in your life. Copyright © 2012, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Stewardship Prayer

My church is composed of people like me.

I help make it what it is. It will be friendly, if I am.

Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.

It will do great work, if I work.

t will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a

generous giver.

It will bring other people into its worship and fellowship,

if I invite and bring them.

It will be a church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness

and faith, and a church with a noble spirit, if I,

who make it what it is, am filled with these same things.

Therefore, with the help of God,

I shall dedicate myself to the task of being all the things

that I want my church to be.
