Christ the King

I am not sure why they call this the Feast of Christ the King.

Christ is not a King.

At least not according to how the world sees a King.

Kings and Presidents and Prime Ministers

All live in fancy homes like the White House and Buckingham Palace.

Even Foxes have dens and birds their nests,

But Jesus had nowhere to lay His head. Mt. 8:20

Kings and Presidents and Prime Ministers

All have a good deal of money.

Usually more than the average person of their country.

Jesus however, emptied Himself. Phil2:7

He had no bag, no money, no bread for the journey,

Only a staff. Mk. 6:8

Jesus does not reign from a throne,

But from a cross.

Jesus is more like a Shepherd than a King.

In fact Jesus never called Himself a King.

Jesus instead referred to Himself as a Shepherd. Jn 10:14

A Shepherd who tends His flock.

Who pastures them and gives them rest;

Who goes in search of the lost sheep.

Binds up the injured;

And Heals the sick;

He is the Good Shepherd.

The Good Shepherd knows His sheep.

He knows those who are goats in sheep’s clothing.

And On the Last Day He will gather His sheep to Himself.

He will separate the sheep from the goats.

For He will know His sheep not by their talk but by their deeds.

Because they fed the hungry and gave water to the thirsty.

They clothe the naked;

And they comforted the sick and visited those in prison.

And they will inherit the Kingdom prepared for the from the foundation of the world.

But the goats........

God Bless
