Podczas mojej posługi w parafiach angielskich w Wielkiej
Brytanii mogłem obserwować zainteresowanie jakim obdarzali
Anglicy swoją królową. Najdrobniejsze wydarzenia z jej Ŝycia
były tematami artykułów w gazetach, zresztą bardzo chętnie
czytanych. Dziś obchodzimy Uroczystość Chrystusa Króla,
wyznajemy, Ŝe Chrystus jest nie tylko Królem Wszechświata,
ale i naszym osobistym Panem i Królem.
Czy z równie duŜym zainteresowaniem czytam słowa na
temat Jego Ŝycia – Ewangelie? Czy jest On kimś rzeczywiście
waŜnym w mym Ŝyciu?
Czy Jego królestwo, do którego zaprosił
Dobrego Łotra jest równieŜ pragnieniem mojego
Ŝycia?
During my ministry in the parishes in the United
Kingdom I could observe the interest that British
bestowed on their queen. Smallest events in her
life were the subjects of articles in newspapers,
moreover, they were very happy to read about
that. Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Christ the King,
we confess that Christ is not only King of the Universe, but our
personal Lord and King.
Do we have great interest to read the word on His life - the
Gospels? Is He really someone important in my life?
Is His kingdom, to which he invited the Good Thief is also the
desire of my life?

W modlitwie Ojcze nasz modlimy się:
Przyjdź królestwo Twoje. Dzisiejsza
uroczystość Chrystusa Króla Wszechświata
jest dla nas okazją, aby odpowiedzieć
sobie na pytanie: czy Chrystus jest
Królem mojego Ŝycia, czy słucham Jego
głosu i przyczyniam się do rozszerzenia
Jego królestwa sprawiedliwości, miłości
i pokoju?
Jezus zapoczątkował na ziemi
królestwo, które „nie będzie miało końca”.
Jest ono zupełnie inne od królestw, jakie
znamy z historii. Nie zostało zbudowane
na krwi i cierpieniu ani narzucone
przemocą lub podstępem. Nie opiera swej
wielkości na sojuszach, pieniądzach czy
armii. Chrystus jest Królem, który się nie
narzuca ze swoją władzą. Jest Panem
tych tylko, którzy sami oddadzą Mu swe
serca, którzy uwierzą Jego miłości.
Królestwo Chrystusa nie ma teŜ Ŝadnych
granic. KaŜdy moŜe do niego naleŜeć,
bez względu na to, gdzie i kiedy
przyszedł na świat.
Prawo tego królestwa nie jest podobne
do konstytucji i kodeksów ziemskich. To
prawo nakazuje kochać wszystkich, nawet
nieprzyjaciół i dobrze czynić takŜe tym,
którzy nas nienawidzą. Ostatni w
hierarchii waŜności są tu pierwszymi –
pogardzani cieszą się największą sławą, a
najwaŜniejsi są ubodzy.
To królestwo stanowi ucieleśnienie
najszlachetniejszych pragnień ludzkiego
serca. Gdzie moŜemy je znaleźć? W
zaświatach? Nie. Szukajmy go bliŜej – w
sobie samych, gdyŜ ono jest w nas.
MoŜemy odkryć jego piękno. Od momentu
chrztu staliśmy się obywatelami tego
królestwa i jego pełnoprawnymi
dziedzicami.
NaleŜymy do wspólnoty uczniów
Chrystusa, którzy chcą iść za Nim drogami
ufności, prawdy i pokoju. I chociaŜ nieraz
wydaje się nam, Ŝe królestwa ciemności
zwycięŜają królestwo BoŜe, to jednak nie
powinniśmy ulegać zniechęceniu i
lękowi.
Do you recognize that the Lord Jesus has been given
full authority and power to rule over the earth as well as
heaven?
Jesus was crucified for his claim to be the Messianic King
who would rule not only over his people Israel but ultimately
over all the nations as well. What is the significance or
meaning of Jesus' kingship for us? Kingship today seems anti-
quated, especially in democratic societies where everyone is
treated equal and free. God at first did not want to give his
people Israel a king. Why? Because God alone was their
King and they needed no other. Nonetheless, God relented
and promised his people that through David's line he would
establish a kingship that would last for eternity (Psalm
89:29). The Jews understood that the Messiah would come
as king to establish God's reign for them. They wanted a
king who would free them from tyranny and from foreign
domination. Many had high hopes that Jesus would be the
Messianic king. Little did they understand what kind of king-
ship Jesus claimed to have. Jesus came to conquer hearts
and souls for an imperishable kingdom, rather than to con-
quer perishable lands and entitlements.
When Satan tempted Jesus during his forty day fast in
the wilderness, he offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the
world (Matthew 4:8-9). Jesus knew that the world was in
Satan's power. And this was precisely why Jesus came – to
overthrow Satan's power and rulership over the earth. Jesus
knew that the way to victory was through submission to his
Father's will and through the sacrificial offering of his life
upon the cross for the sins of the world. As Jesus was dying
on the cross, he was mocked for his claim to kingship. None-
theless, he died not only as King of the Jews, but as King of
the nations as well. His victory over the power of sin, Satan,
and the world, was accomplished through his death on the
cross and his resurrection. Jesus exchanged a throne of glory
for a cross of shame to restore us from slavery to sin to glory
with God as his adopted sons and daughters. In the Book of
Revelations Jesus is called King of kings and Lord and lords
(Rev. 19:16).
Do you recognize Jesus Christ as your King and Lord?
The scriptures present us with the choice between two
kingdoms – the kingdom of light and the kingdom of dark-
ness. The choice is ours. Which kingdom do you serve? God's
kingdom remains forever because it is built on the foundation
of God's eternal love and justice. To accept Jesus as Lord
and King is to enter a kingdom that will last forever where
righteousness, peace, truth, and love dwell.
Is your life submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ?
