She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. 8  And there were shepherds living out in the fields near by, keeping watch over their flocks at night.  9  An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.  10  But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.  11  Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.  12  This will be a sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.’

          • Matthew 23 vv34 - Truly I tell you this generation will not pass away  until all these things have happened 
          • Reading v34, Matthew could not have thought of this generation only  lasting 30-40 years after the crucifixion, but maybe before all of  Jesus' had passed away 
          • Compare to v36 - "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the  angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father"

              • Which of these connect with Christ the King? Powerful, crown, heritage, authority, history 
              • That's not enough, let's add some words specific to Jesus 
              • Faithful, loving, shepherd, servant, compassionate, humble  
              • Pilate's sign above the cross - Jesus King of the Jews  
              • Reading Luke 23.33-43 (NIVUK)

              • One of the great prayers of the New Testament - "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom" 
              • This is an incredible King we are thinking of In our system, the monarchy recognises its dependence on God, a King of love 
              • He is the King of Kings

As we work for peace – give us wisdom,  as we strive for justice – give us courage,  as we care for those in need – give us compassion.  As we strive to protect the planet – give us hope Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
