Faith
Christ is King: Challenge and Opportunity
Faith Facts
- The phrase “Christ is King!” is being shouted in public marches, interpreted in both hopeful and fearful ways across communities.
- The Church is called to respond by clarifying the true message of Christ—one of love, humility, and unity—amid rising tension and public division.
- Christian discipleship means embodying Christ’s teachings, placing justice, mercy, and sacrifice above slogans or national identity.
Recent protests ringing with “Christ is King!” reveal a moment of both challenge and great opportunity for the Church in Britain. How believers respond now will shape both public witness to Christ and the nation’s moral foundation.
Calls for Christian values must not become exclusionary, but instead invite the nation to embrace Jesus’ teachings—radical love, justice, and humility that transcend heritage and background.
“If we truly believe that Christ is King, we must pursue that lived reality, not just proclaim it.”
This is a vital time to demonstrate genuine discipleship and to correct the misuse of Christ’s name for exclusion or division. The Church is uniquely positioned to point the way toward repentance, forgiveness, and hope centered on Christ—blessing the people and uniting hearts in faith.
The duty now is to reclaim faith for Christ’s kingdom, rooted in the Gospel, and to courageously live out biblical teachings that unite and heal the nation.
