November 26, 2006 - Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King

Jesus Christ is the “faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and ruler of the kings of the earth.”

Daniel 7:13-14. The mysterious image of “one like a Son of man”—probably representing the faithful people of Israel in its original context— was evoked by Jesus to describe his ministry.

Revelation 1:5-8. The author expects Jesus, the faithful witness, to return in victorious triumph, revealing the meaning of the resurrection to all.

John 18:33b-37. In the confrontation between Jesus and Pilate, Pilate learns a new meaning of kingly rule: giving testimony to the truth.
