Fox Run Regional Park, Black Forest, Colorado
Tomorrow is Christ the King Sunday, the last Sunday in the church year for those churches who follow a liturgical calendar.
Though this bench is not a throne, it does give the person sitting on it an amazing view of Fox Run Regional Park, especially of the pond that sits in front of these steps.
A throne gives royalty the ability to see everything.
"After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands." Revelation 7:9 New Living Translation
John gives us a picture of heaven, of the Church Triumphant. The Lamb, Jesus Christ, stands above all peoples and sees all.
However, we don't have to wait until heaven to know that even now Jesus stands above our lives. He sees us. He loves us. He embraces us. This is the King that we worship and adore.
Though Jesus is seated above us, he stands with us...now. When washing dishes, changing diapers and rotating the tires, Jesus stands with us. When grieving, laughing and even sinning, Jesus stands with us.
Two things mark Jesus' reign: He sits enthroned above our lives, and he walks with us as we experience life. May we sense this all-powerful, ever present Savior, with us now and for eternity.
