Christ the King

The born that make the evil tremble

Where is the newborn King, we came to do homage, when the Magi told these words to Herod, he was in greatly trouble, not only him but satan, because his kingdom was shaken.

At the passion, Pilato asked “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world.

Them Pilato told the Jews: Behold, your king!” 15 They cried out, “Take him away, take him away! Crucify him!

You are not the one they are rejecting. They are rejecting me as their king. 1 Samuel, The Same words in the Gospel of Luke: We do not want this man to be our king Lc 19,14.

Christ reign with his Cross

Jesus was sent to be executed, Pilato also had an inscription written and put on the cross. It read, “Jesus the Nazorean, the King of the Jews.”

This letter is revealed for us a mystery, Jesus is King, no only by born but for his death: The words King of the Jews accord with the power, the dominion, which Christ earned by his suffering. St Tomas.

By his cross Jesus destroy the dominion of Evil and give this power to all that is unite to him by the sacraments.

That is the reason why he is King, by his sufferings he saves us and rescue us, then for now you know the key of the mystery, Christ is king because was crucify him for mi sin, he rescues us for his blood,

From that throne his kingdom will extend to all the earth: the Lord extends your strong scepter from Zion. Preaching the Gospel to all nations.

The Rejection of His Kingship

There is contradiction, Jesus came to offer his kinship, but people reject his rule, Jesus offer to enter to his kingdom, but many generations repeat those words and reject him: We do not that that man rule over us.

Hundreds of years the nations say: we do not want that his rule, many Countries, say we do not want to be rule by Christian values.

A few decades ago, many families say we do not want his rule, we will decide...

In those days many individuals say I do not want his rule over my body...

Tree rejections: over our country, our families, and over our body.

The Reason for Rejection

How to we ended up in this situation? Fulton Sheen has and explanation why as persons reject Christ:

“If I stole some for you, I will try to hide from your presence, we disobey the law of God we do not want to be near him.

He says that a he was teaching a youth girl to became a Catholic, and give one out of confession, and at that point when he was explaining the moral, she shouts I will never will became a Christian, he told my dear girl there is no proportion in the wat that you had heard and the way that you are acting: have committed that sin... Yes, that he had had abortion, he gets this burden on the confession and later the same bishop put to her a veil, she became nun”.

For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. John

And also, there is another reason to explain why people love and justify things contrary to the kingdom of Christ.

The Martyrs Who Defended Christ the King

99 years ago, when the government in Mexico try pass some terrible law against the church many catholic stand up for their faith, the government declare them illegal and kill them, and they die shouting long live to Christ King. My grandmother told me many histories, his uncle was murder because he was spreading bulletin of the parish, his cushion disappears in the battle...

ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XI ON THE PERSECUTION OF THE CHURCH IN MEXICO

We have pointed out above, many individuals, members either of the Knights of Columbus, or officers of the Federation, of the Union of Catholic Women of Mexico, or of the Society of Mexican Youth, have been taken to prison handcuffed, through the public streets, surrounded by armed soldiers, locked up in foul jails, harshly treated, and punished with prison sentences or fines.

Moreover, Venerable Brothers, and in narrating this We can scarcely keep back Our tears, some of these young men and boys have gladly met death, the rosary in their hands and the name of Christ King on their lips.

This happens 99 years ago but today the government in most of the country pass law against the family and they could no stop again what happen, and why even some people inside the church defend thing contrary to the church.

The Dangers of Defending the Wrong Kingdom

In 1973 a convict in Sweden took tree hostage for six days, when the hostages were release, no one of them would testify against his captors on the court, instead, they began raising money for their defense, it was known as the Stockholm syndrome, after been victims, the ended up defend his captors.

This no and isolate case, in Mexico people were making strikes when big gangster was detain...

Something similar happen to uses, when we do no fight the enemies of our soul, we ended up defend it.

And also, this can explain why many Catholics, know are in defense of many things that are against the Church.

Christ is really King he conquered for us the eternal freedom, and the eternal kingdom, we will only participate of this if we do his will. In each decision you chose who want to your king, if you accept Christ follow his law, is commandants.
