Millions will hear the king speak this week in cinemas—but one man really did hear the king speak.
A 94-year-old retired policeman, he heard King George VI through a window, practicing his Christmas speech for the following morning over and over again.
How exciting to be able to listen to an actual eye (and ear) witness of the King, sixty years later! Unsurprisingly, the media are full of it, like here.
Course, many of us did that this morning anyway - just we were listening to eyewitnesses of the King of kings.
“We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a tree, but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen. He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead." (Acts 10:39-40)
Which makes the prospect of a sermon on Sunday seem all the more exciting!
