Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King
REFLECTING ON THE GOSPEL Though we repeat it at church often
without thinking, it can be odd to
call Jesus, “King.” There are not
many kings or queens today and
those that do exist are usually
figureheads. Perhaps the most
famous is Queen Elizabeth II. When
we call Jesus a king are we equating
him in some ways with a figure like
Queen Elizabeth II? Or is the queen
in some ways equivalent to Jesus?
Jesus has many titles in Scripture,
one of which is Christ, others are
Lamb of God, the Alpha and the
Omega, Lion of David, Savior,
Lord, Son of God, Son of Man, and
King. Of course, today’s reading
tells us that he was given the title
“King” by Pilate, or at least by the
Romans who crucified him, as they
were the ones who would have had
the authority and responsibility for
placing any sign above the cross.
What is a Christian response to the
Romans calling him “king” in such
a mocking, derisive way? Christians
embraced it and said he was king in
way unlike earthly kings for his
kingdom was not of this world.
Even the thieves crucified alongside
him encouraged him to save himself
if he really is the Anointed One. But
again, his kingdom is not of this
world. What he does have he offers
the repentant thief, “Today you will
be with me in Paradise.” The true
king of a kingdom not of this world
offers repentance, forgiveness, and
paradise to those who seek it. The
suffering encountered in this world
will be reversed and overcome in
the next. The one dying on a cross
is destined for paradise. The
authorities of this world are putting to
death the king of the kingdom of God.
But this king will upend the ways of
the world. We proclaim Jesus as king,
but he is no mere figurehead. He rules
a kingdom of God where justice
reigns, the lowly are raised up, and
the mighty brought low. Those who
hunger and thirst are satisfied whereas
the rich are sent away empty. Is this
our king? Are we subjects in this
kingdom? Or are we more content
being subjects of the kingdoms of this
age? Jesus is our king, the crucified,
humiliated one whose destiny is
paradise. Let us align ourselves with
him and all the poor and lowly in the
world. Living Liturgy C
