Domenica XXXIV° del Tempo Ordinario
Cristo, Re dell’Universo
Letture: 2 Sam 5, 1-3; Sal 121; Col 1, 12-20, Lk 23, 35-43
Christ, King of forgiveness, came to serve
Like everything important in the Mosaic law, it is necessary for the enthronement is recognized by two witnesses. But while the witnesses to the royal investiture of transfiguration are two of the main characters of the Old Testament (Luke 9:28-36) and are also mysterious witnesses to the resurrection (Luke 24.4), the two witnesses dell'intronizzazione of Golgotha are only two brigands vulgar.
ridiculous Investiture of the man who will not be king if you not going to the bottom of the prank!
Luke makes this track to follow the story of the two robbers, almost indicate that the way for Christ to exercise his kingship over all men, including his enemies, is to offer their forgiveness (vv. 34a.39-43). Luke is very sensitive to this idea throughout the passion narrative, but here it touches the top. With this forgiveness, Christ is presented as a new Adam, who can help humanity to restore the lost paradise from the first man (cf. Lk 3:38).
must still accept this new humanity that God's forgiveness and it folds in on itself proudly. Christ comes at the time of his life when he will inaugurate a new humanity, freed from the alienation of sin, he offers to be part of the good thief, because his will di perdono è senza limiti. Il regno di Cristo si esercita su dei convertiti.
I termini Re e Messia risuonano intorno alla croce in frasi beffarde e provocanti. In questa situazione Gesù compie un gesto veramente regale e assicura al malfattore pentito l’ingresso nel regno del Padre.
Anche nei confronti degli avversari più accaniti, Gesù dirà parole di perdono: «Padre, perdona loro perché non sanno quello che fanno».
Gesù, quindi, esercita e manifesta la sua regalità non nella affermazione di un potere dispotico, ma nel servizio di un perdono che tende alla riconciliazione.
Egli è il primogenito di tutte le creature (seconda lettura) e come tutte le cose sono state create in lui, so it has pleased God to reconcile to himself through him all things, establishing peace in the blood of his cross. "
Christ is King because forgiving and dying for the remission of sins, it creates a new unity among men. Breaking the spiral of hatred offers the possibility of a new future.
recognizing that Jesus is king, we believe that God revealed to him so that the full realization of man can only take place in obedience to his will. There is no human action that is not under the verdict of God, there is no place in history that can do without the relationship with God through Jesus' doctrine of worship Christ teaches us again that life we \u200b\u200bare called is the same life that Jesus Christ lived: a life of service to others. Living out his lordship, and we confess in our turn we become people of peace and reconciliation.
In the Church of Christ, as in every community, the ministry (= service) the authority is given not for personal success, but in terms of unity and charity. Christ, Good Shepherd, came not to be served but to serve (Mt 20:28, Mk 10:45) and to give His life (Jn 10:11).
These statements help to avoid the ambiguities inherent in the concept of royalty is not in the sense of Christ.
