What is Christ the King Sunday? Why might we be resistant to language about monarchy? What is the right way to grieve? Is it okay to grieve small things when there is so much tragedy in the world?
"The sorrows of the universe and a tiny green bird" is a reflection based on Hebrews 1:1-9. Read it at https://intertwinedfc.medium.com.
Many times and in many ways God spoke to our mothers and fathers through the prophets, female and male. In these last days God has spoken to us by a Son, whom God appointed heir of all there is, and through whom God created the worlds. The Son is the brilliance of God's glory and reproduction of God's very being, and the Son undergirds all there is by his word of power. When the Son had made purification for sins, he sat down the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much greater than the angels as the name he inherited is more excellent than theirs.
For to which of the angels did God ever say,
"You are my Child; today I have begotten you"?
Or this,
"I will be their Parent, and they will be my Child"?
Then again, when God brings the firstborn into the world, God says,
"Let all the angels of God worship him."
On the hand of the angels God says,
“God makes winds into celestial messengers,
and flames of fire into God’s ministers.”
But of the Son God says,
"Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your realm.
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions."
