St Peters Orthodox Church

Christ our God was exalted to be King of Kings & Lord of Lords through His loving kenosis; the lowering of Himself and offering Himself even unto death. He opened the gates of paradise by such a paradox. His eternal Kingdom of love, mercy, joy, power, and majesty was established by the King dying at the hands of those for whom He had come to establish it and offer it. He lowered Himself. How do we live as citizens of this King? By our own kenosis. We lower ourselves to simply be His children, His disciples. We lower ourselves offering ourselves back to Him and following Him all of our days.
