The King of Kings and of Paupers

Daily Readings: Acts 4:1-12
Psalm 116:1-8 , John 21:1-14 

My daughters left early this morning with my wife this to grandma's house to watch the royal wedding...they were still in pajamas (the kids)  and had their bears and blankets. I had no intention of watching the wedding. Not that I had anything against the wedding, but I'm playing catch-up after Easter.
So I say down with a cup of coffee and curiousity made me switch on the TV and I am still at a loss for words for what I saw: the future King of England, the heir to the throne of one of the most powerful nations of the world kneeling next to his soon to be wife in front of millions around the world.

They were on their knees before Jesus, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

All around the Name above all Names was being spoken. Choirs sang of His glory and the notes wafted up and up and up.

Prayers that I have prayed over common people were read, asking God's blessing for children, for health, for unity in life, for a marriage modeled after the Unity of Christ and His Church.

Jesus Christ is the King of both Kings and Paupers alike. For Royal heirs and royal messes. For the worshipers gathered in majestic cathedrals and under sun-worn tarps.

"let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that this man is standing before you in good health by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead. This Jesus is

`the stone that was rejected by you, the builders;

it has become the cornerstone.'

There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved."
