We do not make him king, he is already king. Jesus claims the whole world for his own. We are all his because he is King of all the earth. He is the one who is. He is the one who is to be.
Christians are a people of hope.
It may be hard to imagine that some days, but nonetheless it is true. We have hope that our Lord, our king who is over all the earth will return one day. That hope is in an absent Lord. Hope in one who is not here among us, at least not physically. Yet at the same time we gather around the table to celebrate the presence of Christ among us, we gather to celebrate His absence.
