Christ the King
This Sunday, we are reminded of the majesty of Jesus Christ. In the Gospel reading, in dialogue with Pilate, Jesus speaks of His kingdom, which is not of this world. Pilate questions Jesus about His kingship, and Jesus responds by explaining that His kingdom is not based on earthly power nor politics, but on truth.
We are told that Jesus came into the world to testify to the truth, and those who belong to the truth listen to His voice.
Christ’s kingship is characterised by humility, service, and love. Unlike earthly rulers who often seek power and control, Jesus’s majesty is about serving others. His kingdom is one of justice, peace, and love, and it stands in stark contrast to the kingdoms of this world.
As Christians, we are called to align our lives with the values of Christ’s kingdom. This means embracing humility, serving others, and standing up for truth and justice. It challenges us to examine where our loyalties lie and how we are living out our faith in a world that often values power and success over love and service. In this way, we work towards building His kingdom here on earth.
The Gospel is the truth, and everything is so much better when we live within the truth.
