King

Robert C. Shannon

There is one place where the Queen (or King) of England cannot go. She is not permitted
to go there. It is the House of Commons. Because of an event long ago, the
ruling monarch is forbidden to enter the House of Commons. She may go anywhere
she chooses in the 53 nations that make up the British Commonwealth of Nations.
In addition to those 53 nations there are numerous dependencies and territories
attached to the Commonwealth. She may go anywhere she wishes in any of them. No
place in Australia, or New Zealand or India or Scotland or Wales is forbidden
to her. But she can never enter the House of Commons.

Our King is Lord of all. He may go where He chooses. No place is “off
limits” to Him.

One of the loveliest structures in Constantinople was the throne room of
Constantine. It was called the Hall of Gold. Even the banquet table was of gold
and silver. A curtain hung on the wall woven with gold and precious stones. But
above the throne where Constantine sat was a picture of Christ on his throne.
And on their coins those people stamped: “Jesus Christ, King of Rulers.”
