This Sunday, the Sunday before Advent is designated “Christ the King Sunday” in a number of denominations. On this Sunday Christ’s kingship over all creation is recognized, affirmed, and celebrated. In Anglican churches this Sunday is also known as “Stir-Up Sunday,” so named after the collect appointed for the Sunday before Advent in the older Anglican service books.
“Stir up, we beseech thee, O Lord,
the wills of thy faithful people;
that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works,
may of thee be plenteously rewarded;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
In this Sunday’s message we consider the implications of the kingship of Christ.
Readings: Daniel 7: 9-10, 13-14; Revelation 1: 4b-8; and John 18: 33-37
