Introduction:

A young lion wandered from his father to test whether or not he would get the same respect from the other animals as his father did. As the young lion approached some monkeys, he roared and asked, “WHO IS THE KING OF THE JUNGLE?”

The monkeys, being afraid, responded, “YOU are!”

The lion replied, “And don’t you forget it!”

The lion repeated this to each animal in the jungle and got the same response until he came across a herd of elephants. The little lion roared and asked, “WHO IS THE KING OF THE JUNGLE?” The big bull elephant walked closer to the lion, swooped him up in his trunk, swung him around and around and threw him in the river.

Battered and wet, the little lion replied, “Just because you didn’t know the answer to the question doesn’t mean you had to get nasty about it!”

Who is our king? What is it that rules over us. We'd like to say, "Jesus Christ!" But is that really always the case?
Today, on this Christ the King Sunday we will explore what it means to celebrate Christ, our King.
