For many Filipinos, kingship is not about earthly power or privilege; it is about leadership rooted in service. Jesus Christ’s throne is the Cross, His crown is made of thorns, and His rule is one of mercy, justice, and compassion. In our country where authority is often misused, Christ the King challenges His followers to imitate a different kind of power—one that uplifts the poor, defends the weak, and brings healing rather than fear.
Everyday Filipino life offers many opportunities to live under Christ’s kingship. When a parent sacrifices quietly for the family, when a government official chooses honesty over easy gain, when a young person stands up for what is right even if it is unpopular, the kingship of Christ is made visible. His reign takes root not in grand gestures but in simple acts of love.
