Sunday Worship Homily

Forgiven by the King

Jeremiah 23:1-6; Colossians 1:13-20; Psalm 46; Luke 23:33-43

• God loves us and He has chosen to forgive us,
• Jesus is the only King who is willing to die for the sins of His people.
• When we begin to acknowledge the love of God, we become partakers of what He purchased for us through the cross.
• The Feast of Christ the King is reminding us that because Christ has died on the cross, we also become part of His Kingdom.
• Forgiveness continually reminds us of the favor we have received from Christ.
• God only wants us to acknowledge our sins so He can give us that forgiveness.
• Only to Him we submit, bow, and fall on our knees, acknowledge that He is the King of our lives.
• As God had forgiven us, we also do acts of forgiveness so we can move forward.
