Today is the last Sunday of the liturgical year - traditionally recognised as the feast of “Christ the King”. This week we conclude with a proclamation of the kingship of Christ, and a call upon all of us to declare our loyalties and commitments to the rule of Christ.
The Kingdom of Christ is something more appealing, more permanent and more rewarding than the temporal advantages offered by the kings, presidents or politicians of the world. Christ offers Truth. His Kingdom is not in power, wealth and popularity but Truth. His Kingdom is qualitatively different from the Kingdoms of this world.
His is the Kingdom where power and money mean nothing in terms of a person’s value, but where humility and sacrifice mean everything.
We have chosen Christ as our King. We stand by Christ, holding fast to our belief in the better world that is to come, and together with our King, we move forward through sacrifice and service.
Jesus is our Victor,
Jesus is our Ruler,
Jesus our Lord and Redeemer.
Long live Christ the King!
