Why Christ the King Is Shown Vulnerable

Homily from The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.

The moment of victory is the moment of vulnerability.

We often think that we win by being strong, or beautiful, or clever, or powerful. But Christ wins by another means. Christ the King, Lord of the Universe wins by choosing to empty Himself of all that we think we need to win.
