Special Message - The Life and Death of Queen Elizabeth II (The Spiritual Perspective)
Please share this episode to anyone who you think it might comfort or encourage at this time.
Queen Elizabeth was an outstanding whole-life disciple of Jesus, someone whose faith shapes all they do and say.
Since her death, our screens and papers have been filled with eulogies from family and friends, from former Prime Ministers, commonwealth leaders, world leaders, celebrities. We have heard of her extraordinary dedication to duty, of her dignity, of her diligence, of her astute leadership of the Royal Family, of her curiosity and intelligence and her ability to make people feel comfortable and, more importantly, valued…
But we have heard too little about the spiritual side of her life, and the central part that her Christian faith paid in her live and work and how it was properly reflected in the servant leadership role she dutifully embraced as a representative figurehead of the UK and Commonwealth countries whom she served
She was crystal clear in the primacy of Jesus in her life and repeatedly so.
In her 2014 Christmas broadcast she put it this way:
‘For me, the life of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, whose birth we celebrate today, is an inspiration and an anchor in my life. A role-model of reconciliation and forgiveness, he stretched out his hands in love, acceptance and healing. Christ’s example has taught me to seek to respect and value all people of whatever faith or none.’
