It isn’t a fashionable idea nowadays to talk about obedience to a king. Words like king, kingdom, obedience, and submission irritate our modern sensibilities and it’s easy to see why. History is full of instances where kings or emperors have abused the power they held over their people. As such, many of us have been trained to look at monarchy with suspicion. So how do we reconcile our inherent distrust of monarchy with the Church’s understanding of Christ as King? One way to start is to realize that Jesus is King like no other king and in Him, kingship reaches its fullest and most beautiful expression, service to others.
