On Christ the King Sunday, the Chudch proclaims that we belong to and worship a crucified and risen king, who shows us that God’s love is far more powerful than any earthly king #love #christtheking #christian #jesus #unitedchurchofchrist

Sometimes it is truly hard to cope with irony of being accused of being a heretic who doesn’t read the Bible by online trolls who claim the rapture is biblical… #church #christian #progressivechristian

The gospel text for Christ the King Sunday is Jesus on the cross. The Chruch proclaims a crucified king, and worships Christ who uses his power to empty himself out for others #jesus #christtheking #christian #power #unitedchurchofchrist

On this feast of Christ the King, the gospel lesson is Christ on the cross in Luke. And Jesus, as a crucified king, uses power differently than how we expect worldly kings to use power #jesus #christtheking #power #christian #savior

On Sunday we observed Christ the King, but we often don’t have the most positive associaitons with kings. And the Bible itself is rather ambivalent about human kings #bible #christtheking #authority #jesus #christian

Sunday was the feast of Christ the King. What does it mean for the Church to proclaim a crucified king? What does Christ show us about true power and authority as a king who has been executed by empire? #christtheking #jesus #power #authority #christian

In Luke 19, Jesus offers Zacchaeus salvation, but salvation is more than about the afterlife. Salvation is also about the abundant life that is possible in the here and now #salvation #jesus #christian #bible #unitedchurchofchrist

Jesus goes to stay in the home of Zacchaeus the tax collector. Zacchaeus then says he’ll give half of all he has to the poor. We can read this as something that will happen in the future or something that’s describing what Zacchaeus already does.

In Luke 19, the crowd grumbles when Jesus goes to stay in the house of Zacchaeus, a tax collector. Why didn’t people like tax collectors? How were they sinners? #bible #jesus #christian #church #unitedchurchofchrist

In Luke 19, it’s grammatically unclear whether Zacchaeus is short or whether Jesus is short. What would it mean for Jesus, the messiah to be short? Jesus is already a subversive figure, so being short would fit #jesus #bible #masculinity #christian #unitedchurchofchrist
