Christ is King!

The world today would have us believe that Christ is no longer relevant, that His reign is a myth, and that modern man has outgrown the need for divine authority. But the truth remains unshaken: Christ is King. Not merely in the poetic sense, nor as a mere religious sentiment, but as an absolute and cosmic reality. Whether acknowledged or denied, His kingship is the axis upon which history turns, and His rule extends over all creation.

From Genesis to Revelation, the kingship of Christ is proclaimed. The prophet Daniel foresaw the coming of a kingdom that “shall never be destroyed” (Daniel 2:44). Isaiah prophesied of a child born to us, upon whose shoulders would rest “the government” (Isaiah 9:6). The Psalms declare, “The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over all” (Psalm 103:19).

When Christ stood before Pilate, He did not deny His kingship. Instead, He declared, “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36). This was not a renunciation of earthly authority but a declaration that His reign surpasses the transient powers of men. His was not the political kingship the Jews expected, nor the temporal rule that Rome feared, but a dominion over souls, time, and eternity itself.

Modernity has waged war against Christ’s sovereignty. The secular world insists that faith is a private affair, a relic of bygone ages, something to be hidden away. Public life, we are told, must be governed by human reason alone, untainted by divine revelation. This is the great lie of liberalism and humanism: that man can be his own king, a law unto himself.

We see the consequences of this rebellion everywhere. Governments that reject Christ’s law enact policies that promote death rather than life, perversion rather than purity, and enslavement rather than true liberty. The family, once the sacred cornerstone of Christian civilization, is mocked and dismantled. Churches, instead of proclaiming Christ as King, bow to the gods of political correctness and modernist compromise.

Yet none of this changes the truth. Christ remains enthroned at the right hand of the Father. The laws of man may defy Him, but they will pass away. His law is eternal.

In recent years, the simple declaration that "Christ is King" has been falsely smeared as an antisemitic statement. This is a baseless and dishonest accusation designed to silence Christians and undermine the fundamental truth of Christ’s reign. To proclaim the kingship of Christ is not an attack on any people—it is an affirmation of His divine authority over all nations, all peoples, and all of history.

To accuse this truth of being hateful is, in fact, an act of anti-Christian bigotry. It seeks to delegitimize Christian faith, to exile Christ from the public square, and to intimidate believers into silence. The irony is stark: those who claim to fight intolerance engage in outright persecution of Christians who dare to proclaim the sovereignty of their Lord.

What then are Christians to do? In an age that seeks to erase the very memory of Christ’s kingship, we must be His heralds. We must proclaim, without fear and without apology, that Christ reigns.

• Our families must be bastions of Christ’s rule. We must enthrone Him in our daily lives, ensuring that our children are raised not by the pagan culture of the age, but by the eternal truths of Scripture and the teachings of the Church.

• We must resist the lie that faith is a private matter. Christ’s kingship has public consequences. We must advocate for laws and policies that reflect His justice and mercy.

• We must build institutions—schools, businesses, communities—that operate under the banner of Christ the King.

• Above all, we must submit ourselves to His reign. Many profess Christ with their lips but refuse to yield their lives to His authority. To declare Christ as King means to obey Him. It means to abandon sin, to embrace virtue, and to live in radical fidelity to His will.

Though the world rages, though the enemies of Christ conspire, their efforts are in vain. The day will come when “every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord” (Philippians 2:10-11).

The question is not whether Christ will reign, for He already does. The question is whether we will acknowledge His reign now, as faithful subjects, or later, when all will be forced to recognize the truth.

Christ is King. Let us live as if we believe it.
