‘Whose king is Christ Jesus?’ by Owen Lynch - 30 April 2023

We’re celebrating a coronation soon, but why? Owen Lynch looks at how the king is already king, but it makes a difference to us when we recognise and remember that. In many ways, Christ’s ascension to heaven was the same as a coronation - memorable and amazing for everyone who saw it, but Christ was already king. Was he only the king of people who recognised him or followed him at the time?

Christians and countries with Christian traditions cannot and should not claim ownership of Christ - the events of Pentecost showed that his kingdom and power are for everyone. But do we get that?

This talk concludes with a time for contemplation that, because of Christ’s ascension and the way the Spirit spoke at Pentecost, Christ Jesus is for everyone.
