Christus
vincis Christus regnat Christus imperat – Christ the King 2012
by OGUN IKECHUKWU
The Kingship of Christ
is intrinsically and ontologically substantial with his Sovereignty which is in
his Lordship and a way of reigning. His reigning implies winning, ransom and
compassionate act or redemption. Could there be these attributes without the
basic concept of service? Christ came not to be served but to serve. Let us
with joy, celebrating the Solemnity of Christ the King ponder thus:
C – CHRIST is eternally
King of peace, Melchizedek.
H – HOLINESS is primarily Christ’s nature.
R – REDEMPTION of
humanity is Christ’s Lordship.
I – INCARNATION is
divine start of Kingship.
S – SOTERIOLOGY has a
Kingly undertone.
T – TRINITARIAN Love is
a mystery.
T – TOTALITY of two
natures, is evident in Christ.
H – HUMANITY of Christ
shows his Sonship.
E – EUCHARISTIC nature
portrays the divine friendship of Christ.
K – KENOSIS is a form
of Christ-like sacrifice.
I – INSTITUTION of the
Sacraments is a way of kingship continuity and ever presence of Christ among
us.
N – NATIVITY of Christ
opened a horizon for our being adopted children of God.
G – GOODNESS is
inseparable with the advent of Christ in
the world.
