THE KINGLY POWER OF CHRIST THE KING

I can say with integrity that I believe Jesus Christ is Lord and King, but that acclamation is tempered by the sober knowledge that the Lordship of Jesus and his kingly power are of an utterly different kind and ken from that which the world esteems and which most of us – like the twelve – secretly desire.

    Doesn't it go something like "My kingdom is not of this world. . ." ?

    Power in the Kingdom of God is not dominating power. As in the Magnificat, the power of the world is turned upside down.
