REFLECTION ON TODAY’S READINGS -The Kingship of Christ
Although Jesus’ kingdom is established from the very beginning of creation and through the Davidic Kingship, His reign is not one of power but of mercy, not one of self-service but of self- giving, not one of material wealth but of eternal salvation. His throne is a cross. Through His suffering and death, He brings life to all who are open to receiving it. He offers paradise to all those who come to Him, accept His reign, and remain faithful to the will of His Father. He bids us to come into His kingdom, into the eternal life He has won for all. The cross is where we least ask to be. Yet this is where we find Jesus. The cross is where we ourselves least want to be. Yet this is how God’s kingdom is established and where our discipleship begins: by allowing ourselves to be crucified on the cross of self-giving. Jesus demonstrates His kingship not by saving Himself but by saving others, not by power but by compassion. Just as the cross was His means to exaltation so is the cross our only way into paradise.
