You have likely heard the sad news. Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom passed away, aged 96. We mourn her passing. Queen Elizabeth II was the United Kingdom’s longest-serving monarch, reigning for a total of seventy years. Her Christmas message each year was always something to look forward to! The following quotes are all by Queen Elizabeth, revealing a deep faith in Jesus’ power to save.
“History teaches us… we need saving from ourselves, from our recklessness or our greed. God sent into the world neither a philosopher or a general… but a Saviour with the power to
forgive.”
“For me the teachings of Christ and my own personal accountability before God provide a framework in which I try to live my life.”
“Jesus whose teachings have been handed down from generation to generation, and have been the bedrock of my faith. His birth marked a new beginning. As the carol says ‘the hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight.'”
“I have been – and remain – very grateful to you for your prayers and to God for His steadfast love.”
Such beautiful words from a committed, diligent, faithful monarch.
May she enjoy her heavenly encounter with our Lord and Saviour!
