We wish the young Prince and his parents well. In the words of the
Bible, may he, like Jesus, grow in stature and in favour with God and man (Luke
2:52) and we support them with our prayers.
It is interesting to hear this little boy referred to as “the future
king.” Indeed (all things being equal) that is what he will be. But that is an
event far in the future – a time indeed when many of us are likely to have been
long dead. It’s a little like the Bible’s promise of a coming of the Kingdom of
God – Christ came at Bethlehem, but his long-awaited return is still in the
future. But his reign will come.
For now, we pray for the young family – William and Kate and the baby boy
and all their relations. May they be conscious of God’s blessing and may the young
Prince bring them great joy.
