What does “today you will be with me in paradise” really mean for preachers this Christ the King Sunday?

Karoline Lewis shares a powerful reflection on Luke 23:33-43, reminding us that Christ’s reign isn’t about a distant future or faraway place—it’s about presence and promise in all times and all places. Standing beside her grandfather’s clock, she unpacks how Jesus’s words to the criminal on the cross reveal that the reign of Christ is here and now, in our today, our past, and our future.

This Christ the King Sunday, discover how this “today” can transform your preaching.
