London Rally – “Jesus Is King”

The title of my video today is London rally – “Jesus is king”. In this post I reflect on a recent London rally widely discussed under the banner “Unite the Kingdom.” Where crosses, images of Christ, and shouts of “Jesus is King” featured prominently. I reference a report from Premier Christian News and share my own perspective on what the day represented, how it was framed, and how Christians might respond.

What Premier Christian News Reported

According to Premier Christian News, the rally concluded with worship songs and prayer from a platform set up in Whitehall, alongside speeches. Visible throughout were wooden crosses, images of Christ, and banners declaring “Jesus is the way, the truth, the life.” Some church leaders had advised against attendance; nevertheless, many Christians were present and vocal about their reasons for being there.

Numbers and Narratives

Reports on turnout varied widely online. Whatever the exact figure, it clearly drew a very large crowd. The way numbers are framed often shapes the narrative that follows; that is part of why this event has sparked such debate.

 

 

 

 

Why People Said They Came

From what I saw and read, many attendees said they came to stand for truth, order, and Britain’s Christian foundations. Some voices quoted by Premier identified as “cultural Christians,” not active in church but supportive of biblically rooted values in public life. Others came as committed believers, carrying Scriptures on shirts and banners. Whether or not one agrees with every statement on the day, there was clearly a strand of public witness to Jesus Christ at the heart of it.

Media Framing vs. What Was Seen

The contrast between on-the-day experiences and some media headlines was striking to me. Online comparisons circulated about arrests at other large events versus this rally, and how such events are described afterward. I believe it is fair for Christians to ask whether coverage is even-handed while we also remain committed to truth, charity, and peace in the way we speak.

 

 

A Christian Response

  • Boldness without bitterness: We are not ashamed of the gospel, but we refuse to mirror hatred or contempt.
  • Clarity without contempt: Tell the truth plainly, and treat people made in God’s image with dignity.
  • Prayer for leaders and peace: Whatever our political view, the Bible calls us to pray for those in authority and to seek peace in our streets.

Key Scriptures (NKJV)

  • Philippians 2:10–11 — “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow… and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord…”
  • Matthew 28:18 — “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.”
  • Romans 1:16 — “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ…”
  • Romans 10:9 — “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus… you will be saved.”
  • Romans 12:17–18 — “Repay no one evil for evil… If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.”
  • 1 Timothy 2:1–2 — Pray “for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life…”

My Takeaway

I found it refreshing to see open acknowledgment of Jesus in public. At the same time, I believe Christians should model a better way. Firm on truth yet gentle in spirit, eager to pray, and quick to promote peace. Our country has been deeply shaped by the Bible; when we bring Christ to the centre—“Jesus is King”! We are not merely waving a slogan but pointing to the One who has all authority in heaven and on earth.
