REFLECTION
ON TODAY’S READINGS -
The Kingship of Christ -
The
last Sunday of the liturgical year marks the observance of the
Solemnity in honour of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. What is
special about this feast? (1.) Jesus is truly the King of the
universe. When Pilate asked, “So you are a king?” Jesus
replied: “You say that I am a king. For this, I was born, and
for this, I have come into the world…” The book of
Revelation says, “He is the ruler of the kings on earth”,
prophet Daniel and other prophets had long foretold the kingship of
Jesus. (2.) Jesus’ kingship is not of this world. He existed
from eternity. It was through him that the universe was created and,
as such, all things belong to him. His dominion is an everlasting
dominion. (3.) He rules not by power and authority, armies and
weapons, but by merciful love and humble service, by patient
suffering and sacrificial death, by benevolent compassion and
unconditional forgiveness. The object of the rule of love is the
human heart. His throne is the cross and his crown is made of thorns.
The law of his kingdom is the law of love. How loyal are we to our
King and Lord, Jesus Christ?
ADVENT: Sunday, November 28 begins the Season of Advent where we prepare for Christmas, when we recall Christ’s first coming among us, and it is also a time when we look forward to his second coming at the end of the ages. Advent is a time of joyful expectation. During Advent, each Sunday’s Gospel reading has a specific focus. The Old Testament readings, especially those taken from Isaiah, are prophecies about the Messiah and messianic times. The selections from the writings of the Apostles present exhortations and instructions on different themes of the season. Let us remember and respond to this expectation in prayer, quiet time and preparation for the celebration of Christmas.
