O Rex Gentium | Advent series on the 'O Antiphons'

In the sixth antiphon, we address Jesus Christ by the title 'O Rex Gentium' or King of the Nations. Jesus, the maker of man, rules over all of mankind by virtue of creation. The hope of Israel that God is the king of the nations is fulfilled when Jesus is born as the child of Abraham to bring God’s blessing of salvation to the nations! To call Jesus the King of the Nations means that He is the Reward and Reconciler of all nations.This sermon was preached by Rev Christopher Poshin David on December 21, 2025, at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Chennai.Advent Series: O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (on the O Antiphons)The O Antiphons, an ancient church tradition, are a series of seven prayers addressed to Jesus Christ by the Messiah's Biblical titles, and sung in the season of Advent. These prayers are relevant for us in the modern world too for in these prayers we address the same living Christ who has come, will come, and is coming to his people even today.Visit our website ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.trinitypresbyterianchennai.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ and follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠and ⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠for more resources!
