🗣 'The anointing of the King is a deeply personal and intimate moment between the King and God. In the bible, anointing is seen as a sign that someone has been set apart for a special calling or purpose.'
King Charles will be given a perfectly round orb, a symbol of the earth, with a cross standing over it. The cross is the sign of God's self-sacrificial love for us as a human race and so, as the King receives the orb, he is reminded that he is to rule with a spirit of self-sacrifice, giving himself, his time, his influence, whatever it costs, for the good of his people.
Moreover, how we are going to live peaceably on the earth is the most important issue facing our planet. This has always been a concern that is close to our new King’s heart. The cross standing in the earth and above the earth points to God’s rule of justice and peace, calling us to order our lives in ways that will foster harmony with one another and with the earth itself.and the King she serves’.
Of course, our late Queen spoke a great deal about how her calling to be the Monarch was not at its heart a calling to power and might, but a call to serve. We may not always realise it, but this is a deeply Christian insight – that leadership is essentially about service – it is not ruling through fear, power, or dictatorship.
