HE REIGNS FOREVER: Sunday, Oct. 29, is the Feast of Christ the King. Through out the psalter runs the theme of Yahweh as the great King, the true King of Israel. Many of the psalms refer to the King-Messiah to come. Though Christ was Prophet, Priest and King from .the time of His incarnation, He did not exercise the fullness of his Kingship until the day of His glorification when the Father lifted Him up and seated Him at His right hand. Here he reigns forever. "And of his kingdom there will be DO end," NC Photo. .
