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
