The readings for the Solemnity of Christ the King for Year C focus on the kingship of Jesus Christ, who is not a king like the rulers of this world. In the first reading (2 Samuel 5:1-3) David is anointed the king of Israel. The psalm (Psalm 122:1-2, 3-4, 4-5) sings of going to the house of the Lord. In the second reading (Colossians 1:12-20) Paul tells us that we are going to share in the inheritance of Jesus Christ. In the gospel (Luke 23:35-43) from the cross, Jesus tells the good thief that he will join him in paradise.
Think about the kingship of Jesus Christ who died for us and his kingdom, which lasts forever. Here are some ideas:
Crown the King (VBS Game or Youth Ministry Game)Or maybe it should be called "Uncrown the King" because the goal is to knock off other player's crowns and keep your own. This is an active game, so it is best played outdoors, in a gym, or in a meeting room with some open space.
Kingdoms (Youth Ministry Game)The purpose of this game is to form kingdoms. The largest kingdom wins! All you need are materials to make a list so it is super easy. This could be used as a youth group game or even a middle school VBS game.
He Delivered Us from the Power of DarknessHe delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
