Royal Service

The death of the Queen turns our thoughts both to the nature of monarchy and the nature of the Christian hope. KIng David was the great example of a true monarch, and in Paul's sermon in Acts 13 he speaks of David in terms of a life of service, a life of faith, and a life completed. David points us to his greater Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who grants rest and peace in believing, and who will raise up his people on the last day.
