The Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ

The last Sunday in October

The royalty of Christ rests upon a twofold basis.  He is our King by right of birth and by right of conquest.  The first refers us to the personality of the Son of God, whereby, in His divine nature as God and by virtue of the hypostatic union, He is the sovereign Lord and Master.  The second places before us the God-man coming down on earth to rescue fallen man from the slavery of Satan, and by the labors and sufferings of His life, and passion, and death, to win a glorious victory for us over sin and hell.
