As I reflect on Christ the King Sunday (this past Sunday), I find myself pondering the words to the hymn we sang in church:
“Though some would make their greatness felt and lord it over all,
you said the first must be the last and service be our call.
O Christ, in workplace, church, and home, let none to power cling;
for still, through us, you come to serve, a different kind of king
(ELW 431, “O Christ, What Can it Mean for Us, v. 3)
And as I prepare for the season of Advent (this next Sunday), I find myself wondering this: “how might my waiting this year be different than it has been before?”
