OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, UNIVERSAL KING / YEAR C
"Amen, I say to you,
today you will be with me in Paradise"
After Jesus was arrested, Pontius Pilate questioned him, asking, "Are you the
King of the Jews?" [John 18:33]. Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not from this
world" (v 36). Then Pilate handed him over to be crucified on a hill outside of the
city of Jerusalem named "Calvary" or the "Skull Place" ("Golgotha" in Aramaic).
Over Jesus' head was an inscription: "This is the King of the Jews" (Latin: INRI Iesus Nazorean Rex Iudaeorum). Jesus prayed to his Father to forgive those who
acted out of ignorance. The crowds watched passively while the leaders and
soldiers mocked him, asking, "He saved others; let him save himself if he is the
Messiah of God, the chosen one" (v 35). Jesus was crucified between two
criminals (only Luke reports their words). One of the men reviled Jesus. The
second criminal confessed his own guilt and asked to be remembered when Jesus
came into his kingdom. Jesus assured the condemned man that he would receive
salvation that very day. What seemed to be a defeat in the eyes of the world was
a victory in God's sight.
What does Christ's kingship mean to you in today's world?
Jesus, remember me when I come into your kingdom.
