Christ The King

Today (20 November 2011) the church celebrates the last Sunday of the year, Feast of Christ The King. Christ is a King on the model of the homeric kings who called themselves ‘shepherds of the people’. As a royal shepherd he is leading us to the Kingdom of his Father.

During mass time, we had 2 readings: Ezekiel 34:11-17; 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 and Gospel Reading was Matthew 25:31-46

Here is the story of this Feast:

During the trial of Jesus, Pilate asked Jesus,”Are You the King of the Jews?”

Jesus answered,”My Kingdom does not belong to this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, My people would be fighting to save Me from being handed over to the Jews. My Kingdom is not here.”

At this Pilate said to him,”So then, You are a king?”

Jesus answered,”I am a king. The reason I was born is to teach the truth. Whoever loves the truth hears My voice.”

Christ The King

What is the meaning of this Feast? The Meaning of this Feast:

Jesus gave Himself for us in His Passion that He might redeem us from sin and make us a people pleasing to God. We belong to Him because He saved us. He wants to be the King of our hearts.

We must give Him all our love and obey His commandments. In this way He will rule over us. Jesus received all power in heaven and on earth from His Father. He is the King of the universe. He is our way to God.

The feast of Christ The King is celebrated on the last Sunday of the Church Year.
