Today as a Church, we conclude our liturgical year
and celebrate the Feast of Christ the King. The
Gospel we proclaim shows the great mystery of our
faith: In the moment of his crucifixion, Jesus is
shown to be King and Savior of all. Luke's Gospel
has been loaded with surprises: the poor are rich,
sinners find salvation, the Kingdom of God is found
in our midst. Here we see the greatest surprise of all.
We are confronted with the crucified Jesus, whom
faith tells us is King and Savior of all. The irony is
that the inscription placed on the cross, perhaps in
mockery, contains the profoundest of truth. As the
leaders jeer, the thief crucified by his side recognizes
Jesus as Messiah and King, and finds salvation.
Jesus is King, but not the kind of king we might
have imagined or expected. His kingship was hidden
from many of his contemporaries, but those who
had the eyes of faith were able to see.
As modern disciples of Jesus, we, too, struggle at
times to recognize Jesus as King. Today's Gospel
invites us to make our own judgment. With eyes of
faith, we, too, recognize that Jesus, the crucified One,
is indeed King and Savior of all.
