WATCH a beautiful video tribute to Queen Elizabeth and her expressions of Christian faith
(made by All Souls Langham Place church in London).
No modern global figure has defined our shared history in a more profoundly positive way than Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
In a world of change, tumult and uncertainty, Her Majesty the Queen was a constant, a bedrock of stability, certainty courage and calm, and a continuous reference point of hope, encouragement, and Christian grace.
In her Christmas message in 1952 she asked the Commonwealth, “Pray for me … that I may faithfully serve [God] and you, all the days of my life.”
She proclaimed before Christmas in 2014, “We remember that God sent His only son ‘to serve, not to be served’. He restored love and service to the centre of our lives in the person of Jesus Christ.”
This year, in a message to an Anglican conference in London, she said, “Throughout my life, the message and teachings of Christ have been my guide, and in them I find hope.”
Seven decades of exemplary service, an oath undertaken and an oath delivered, with unwavering commitment. For millions, not only within the realms of the Commonwealth, but extending across the globe, the sense of sadness and grief is very real and profound.
It appears that the Queen practised what she preached about following Jesus. Perhaps, that is why millions are grieving her loss, mourning a lady of exemplary grace and merciful kindness.
She shared the Christian gospel at Christmas 2011 in simple terms, saying that history teaches us that “we need saving from ourselves—from our recklessness or our greed”.
“God sent into the world a unique Person... a Saviour, with the power to forgive,” she said. All of the staff at FamilyVoice say ‘amen’ to that message.
