Christ the King - C (November 20, 2022)

 

Jesus – God Saves

Luke 23: 35-43

 

Three times, different group of people expressed their expectation that the Christ would save himself. 

 

They did not understand Jesus and his mission that he had been proclaiming to them. 

 

One person understood.  He was a criminal but he knew that Jesus, as his name indicates, had come to save others, not himself.  (This Archangel had proclaimed the name Jesus, “God saves” at the moment of the Incarnation in Luke 1: 31 and also Matthew 1:21).   

 

Jesus truly is the Savior of the world, and the King of the universe.
