The King and His Kingdom

What does Jesus the King and his Kingdom look like? Are we anticipating the Kingdom of God?
Jesus Christ is King. The Kingdom of God is the rule and the reign of Jesus.
The Prophet Isaiah spoke of the King and his Kingdom when he said, “Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” (Isaiah 60:3, ESV).
Jesus is the King of Kings and every nation and ruler will ultimately come to his brilliant light and submit to his authority.
Jesus is the King we long for. King Jesus draws all people to himself and to his Kingdom. God’s Kingdom is the paradise we are looking for and longing for.
May we come to know King Jesus more and more and anticipate his soon and coming Kingdom.
A Collect for the Last Sunday after Pentecost: Christ the King: “Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your well-beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
