Promises, we live for them, we die for them. Depending on whether or not they are followed through with, promises can cause us to both succeed and fail. But more than anything, promises point to something that might, can or should be.

   Hear the Good News, God promises both the coming and the reigning of the King, of Christ. This was a word the people of Israel craved. They hung their hopes and future on the promise that the King would come. But why? Did they have reason to believe that this King would come? Yes, yes they did, because throughout their own history, God had delivered on all of His promises. So, the promise was made and the hope is there. This Sunday is called Christ the King Sunday, a Sunday in which we remember the promises that have been made and delivered to us. We also point to the promises that have been made and are to come. We all want a better world, we all want the Kingdom of God to come upon the earth. I suggest we start one person at a time, ourselves.
