REFLECTIONS
Christ the King
This Sunday we celebrate the feast of Christ the King. It is interesting to note that this feast was added to the liturgical calendar by Pope Pius XI in 1925. Nationalism and fascism were on the rise across Europe in the wake of World War I. The feast was meant to remind followers of Jesus that our allegiance is not any earthly ruler or nation. Our primary allegiance is to God and the Kingdom of God.
In the Gospel passage Jesus is standing before Pilate, who has the power to sentence Jesus to death. Pilate asks Jesus if he is a king. Jesus says: “my kingdom is not of this world.” Jesus came to proclaim and to usher in the Kingdom of God, the kingdom of justice, mercy, peace and love. Jesus came to turn the world upside down and to usher in the reign of God. Pilate could not stop that, even by having Jesus killed. Spiritual power defeats earthly power every time.
