The Solemnity of Christ the King, which we celebrate today, was established in 1925 by Pope Pius XI. We always celebrate this feast on the last Sunday of Ordinary Time, the Sunday before the beginning of Advent.
We only see one absolute benevolent king in all of history that is the LORD JESUS Himself. He is the Only King. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Christ the King establishes His Kingdom of light upon earth. This kingdom comes first to our hearts when we accept Jesus as Lord of our lives. When we surrender our lives to Him and proclaim Him to be King in our lives then our hearts become an extension of His kingdom on earth.
The empty promises and false hope of wealth and material possessions are hanged in front of us. The King of kings is coming to conquer our true enemies: sin, death, the evil with His kingly power. Be ready, be prepared for His coming!
May the power of the Gospel change our hearts and our lives by Christ the King, who is our Ruler, our Victor and our Redeemer.
“The Lord is King, with majesty enrobed,” (Ps 93).
