Have you ever wondered why we wear poppies leading up to Remembrance Day?

When you think about Jesus, do you usually think about a King?

Think of a King, either in real life or animated.

“Kings from long ago didn't care about the lives of the people, but that's where Jesus is different.  Jesus is King over all, which means He cares deeply about all.  All of us, all of our relationships, all of our concerns and cares and worries."

What do hope that Jesus cares about in your life?
