Resumen de la Escritura

Each of the passages for this week addresses the ends served by divine power. Jeremiah characterizes king- ship by wisdom, justice, and safety. The exercise of kingly power is on behalf of God’s people rather than against them. The read- ing from Colossians praises the cosmic dimensions of Christ whose exaltation is not an end in itself, for the task of Christ is one of reconciliation. The goal of Christ’s kingship moves to center stage in the passage from Luke. The bystanders and one of the criminals executed with Jesus know what it means to be a king, so they taunt Jesus with the demand that he use his power to save himself. For Jesus, however, a king is not one who saves himself but one who saves others.

Colossians 1 provides a magnificent conclusion to the church calendar and to our reflections on Christ’s reign. Now that we have walked through the story in detail, Paul takes a step back and offers a glimpse of the bigger picture. In all the twists and turns of the biblical story,...

Jesus, thank you for the forgiveness of sins you have lavished on me. Help me live as a representative of your kingdom to the world around me, forgiving others as I want to be forgiven. Amen.
