Jesus does not fit into our worldly perception of what a king should be like. When our Lord was crucified, He displayed neither the honor nor power of a monarch. Hanging naked on the cross, He was in excruciating pain and publicly shamed. How does this match our common idea of a king? However, all but one of the thieves crucified beside Jesus knew that He is the Lord. Jesus' Kingdom shall come, he confessed, and his prayer for salvation was immediately accepted by Jesus. At the Christ the King Sunday's Divine Service on 20th November at YCCL, Bishop Lu delivered a sermon on the importance for Christians to understand their reality through the lens of faith. While Jesus might not fit into our worldly notion of kingship, He is definitely the King everyone needs. The thief on the cross has no works to show for; all he has is faith; and he is saved. Let us be good stewards of all that God has entrusted us with and come to His rest with faith.
