*Friends, today we celebrate the feast of Christ the King. And though the
very notion of kingship is rather alien to us, the metaphor should remain.
For the whole idea is that Christ must become the Lord of our lives, the
one to whom an absolute submission is required. Things do become a bit
easier to take when we see precisely what kind of King Jesus Christ is.
Bottom line: we are not dealing with another Napoleon or Caesar
Augustus; just the contrary. We are dealing with the one who rightly reigns
over those earthly potentates but who bears very little resemblance to
them. Our first clue as to his identity comes from the Gospel for today, an
account of Jesus’ conversation with the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who
asks, "Are you the king of the Jews?" And Jesus responds that his kingdom
"does not belong to this world." So what precisely is his kingship? Worldly
kingship has to do primarily with power and self-aggrandizement. But the
kingship that Jesus represents is a ruling ordered to the truth. Its
purpose is to guide people to the Truth, which is another way of saying,
toward God.*
